This blog as a means for educators in interior design to discuss their experiences with culture shock, learning to manage classroom and overcome worries, navigating collegial issues, figuring out the “name of the game,” and exploring doubts about their own teaching abilities in order to better navigate the path they are on. In addition, we also hope to provide an opportunity for mentoring to occur helping guide new educators in their journey.
Please share any stories describing your experiences in academia that surround personal expectations, myths of working with today’s students, unexpected surprises and humorous dilemmas, strategies for coping with workload, successful stories of achievement, and suggestions for those investigating this career. Everyone has a journey they have embarked on…what is yours?
You can share as much or as little information as you would like, but remember you are not alone in your journey. If you prefer, you can be completely anonymous as the fields for name and email are not needed to share your stories with us. If you choose to leave them blank, you will appear as “Anonymous”. We’ve also provided an option to subscribe to this blog to follow the stories of others. Whatever you decide, we greatly appreciate your experiences and thank you for sharing!
