The idea Gong has of exponential learning is one that I love. It fascinates me. I like the theory of learning to teach. It honestly does change the way I learn when I have to be able to teach someone else how to do it afterwards. Teaching anything to someone else solidifies the knowledge in my own mind and makes it easier to explain each time after that. When I am truly interested in what I am learning, I go above and beyond the required assignments to explore on my own. I like to always do my best work and put all my effort into the learning I do, but I do my absolute best work when I love and am interested in the things I'm doing. When I see the purpose and the application to my assignments, I thrive. I love having enough direction to know where to take assignments, but the freedom to go as far as I can with the available time.
Knowing and understanding how my thinking and learning works, helps shape how I want to teach. I want to find the balance where students who need more direction have it, but those who understand can have the freedom to experiment and excel on the same assignment as others just learning. I want my classroom to have the flexibility for students to help each other before they come to me for help. I like that learning style.
