Today I've finished #teaching to my current customer how to maintain the #software I've developed for them once I've left. Two sessions of 3h and 3h40, teaching to 4 people, all in #japanese of course. A bit tired tonight, but both the users and the IT team are super happy with what I've done (solving a #combinatorial #optimisation problem to save them several hours of work every week and help #organic #farmers ) and I was happy to teach about what I love the most: #programming .
Bonus point for preaching about #testdrivendevelopment and the beauty of #cprogramming .

Also still looking for my next contract ! #fedihire #jobsearch

Based on the stories I share here as well as many of my own experiences, I have to agree with these teachers: the district (ie. management) is the enemy. I haven't ever taught at a single place where the so-called leaders didn't actively work against the teachers, the students, the families, and the overall well-being of those under their charge.

Maybe I've had a string of bad luck, but there seems to be a pretty clear pattern.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to attend my region's Educational Services Center's Summer Learning Institute. I learned a ton of stuff and made connections that will hopefully benefit my students as well as how I teach them.

Main highlight was a talk by the brilliant author (For White Folks Who Teach in the Hood... and the Rest of Y'all Too) and educator Chris Emblin. After his brilliant presentation, he and I talked privately about how both lost our educator dads last year. It was a beautiful moment. I'm hoping like hell I have the opportunity to interact with him again.

@Phosphenes It's a real shame that you didn't attend any classes in which you were comfortable being honest. It is the responsibility of the person teaching to create an atmosphere where critical feedback is not possible without any fear of retribution, but also welcome and acted upon. I make a point of doing something else in the time that students discuss and write down what works or doesn't work for them and I genuinely do not know who wrote/contributed what on the pieces of A4 that I collect afterwards. #HigherEd #teaching
