Teaching Biology

"30-Day Blogging Challenge" 

PROMPT September 7th
You have been chosen to speak at a Zoom conference concerning your chosen field. Over 500 people will attend. Each of them is new to your field and are waiting to hear words of advice from you about this field. What will you say to them to them concerning things you wish you’d known about the industry when you were getting started?

A bit of explanation ▼

When I worked, I taught all science classes for grades 7 - 12. Since that is such a wide area to discuss, I shortened my response to only look at Biology, however, certain areas of my response would be applicable for other areas of teaching as well.

Teaching Biology

Love of subject openly shown
leads to student interest grown
and more enjoyment of your classes.

Balance is required when teaching
or fewer students you'll be reaching
so you'll need discipline to control the masses.

It takes a willingness to explore
animal carcass, guts, and gore
so steel stomachs come in handy too.

And get ready for the insects
'cause you won't get too much respect
by running 'round and screaming while you do.

Classifications are worth knowing
so many facts can be mind blowing
and I haven't even gotten to DNA.

There's plenty more to go through
but the best thing I can tell you,
is loving what you do gets you through the day.
