Create a new post on your blog about why your hardest and easiest habits are what they are for you, and what things you can do to get better at the hardest one. Why is the easiest one so easy for you?
Habit number 5 (Teach/Mentor Others) is the most difficult habit for me. I find that when dealing with the subject of technology I am very confident and take a leadership role quite frequently. Outside of technology within the subject of music I find that there are times where I doubt my leadership with other teachers thinking to myself that there are better options than me. I find this a bit strange to put this category in my difficult habit because I have been a mentor but, sometimes I am surprised that I would be asked to be a mentor. Ways that I could improve on this would be by first and foremost gaining confidence as a mentor teacher. I think that being a musician I have placed myself in a very humble role understanding that there are always better educators/musicians out there but I need to really reflect on the fact that I am a competent musician / educator and have the capacity to be a great mentor as well.
Habit number 6 (Use technology to your advantage.) is the easiest. It is the easiest because I have always had a strong interest in technology of all kinds. I am always trying to figure out new and creative ways I can use it within my classroom and to inspire learning.
