Years of experience teaching make communication so effective even when these two don't share a language!
I got a teaching certificate at the age of 44. It didn't do me much good though. Teaching Trade Union Rules were such that I couldn't even apply for many jobs. I took a job on a one year contract teaching "A" and "O" level English at a Further Education College that was a former Grammar School and my student's did extremely well. The contract was renewed for another two years, then it went the way of temporary contracts. I never did anything but Supply Teaching for the rest of my working life. Didn't get a pension.

My Expedit that holds all of my teaching supplies organized by type. What I love about this is that it gives me room to grow! I LOVE expedit!All of these pics are blogged about here: www.definingmydestiny.blogspot.com
This is my coffee table. Doesn’t seem like much, huh? Well it is. My roommate and I seem to go through candles on a weekly basis. Those candles in the corner burn constantly and brings our apartment a homey feel – it works because people always tell us!
The magazines are a given. I am a reader and a sucker for fashion, art and entertainment. I should have put my new “coffee table book” on there but I didn’t want to “set up” the picture. I just read cover to cover (in a day!) Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s Influence and couldn’t have been more influenced by it. I am very neat, almost to a obsessive point – these magazines really are lined up like this.
Flowers. There are flowers everywhere in my apartment. It reminds me of home. I put this bouquet together myself and it is always the first thing I notice when walking in the glass door of my apartment.
The candy bowl in the middle is a staple to my apartment. It is definitely a killer to us; needless to say, candy is something my friends always know will be available here. The candy bowl is kind of an ongoing joke that never ends (literally). I like the Hershey’s kisses!
My coffee table makes me feel home.

Critical thinking and reflection based activities. My day at CFI Camp Inquiriy.
I'm moving to a new classroom. Here is a pile of my stuff (isn't my bus cool???). I have an equally large pile of stuff in my basement and several boxes still in my car!

Teaching myself packshots. With a little help from Alex Koloskov and others at Photigy. A great bunch of photogs.
Lesson 1: Don't photograph poorly made/finished steelware, jewelry etc. :-)
Lesson 2: Use tethered shooting with Live View (Imagetransmitter 2 for Pentax K-1 and 645Z) in order to have your hands free to arrange strips and stuff, while looking at the view finder/computer screen (or get an assistant).
Lesson 3: Use pilot light to facilitate pre judging the lighting.
Lesson 4: Use a small opening in the cone - cover the camera hole with white cloth where possible.
Lesson 5: Use relatively large aperture (8-11) in order to avoid diffraction (better sharpness), and more shots for stacking.
This stacking was made in Photoshop, which actually did a better jobe than Helicon Focus. Photographing shiny objects on white background (or close to white) is very difficult. No removing the background in pp. For this test I used a shooting cone, two soft boxes and two "speedlight" flashes. Snoots will provide gradients and highlights. Black strips provides black reflections. I wonder if I should try grey strips... The shooting cone softens the light in order to avoid blown out highlights. I belive I might be getting there some day soon. Running the scissors through Define 2 and removing the background would improve the the image a bit... :-) Please note, that these scissors are low cost ones, probably made in China - and not with the best finish, I'm afraid :-)
Teaching her dolls (sorry, pupils, lol) good manners :)
