“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail”
(Benjamin Franklin) This is a quote that has inspired me for a
while. It says to me, Hey! Are you ready to go? A motivated student
can be the best motivation in the classroom. The student that arrives
late, papers everywhere, cell phone in one hand and half a croissant
in their mouth, is not the ideal example of a properly motivated
student. I will put this person with my highly motivated one and
explain that this is the level I need all of you to be at. I want to
empower my students so they feel that they are in control over their
destiny. We will discuss a few topics, such as learning to turn
veggies or creating one of the classic sauces we have just talked
about, I will ask them which one would you like to start with first,
and usually go with the majority. I will set the goals for the day as
well as the week and make sure that the students adhere to the lesson
plan. A humorous motivating story that is relevant with the tasks at
hand is a good ice breaker that generally relaxes their brains,
making them open up for what's ahead. Most importantly, I as the
expediter and facillitator of the lesson plan must be the motivated
one first and foremost. The enthusiasm that I will bring to the
students should make them realize, wow the Chef is ready for today, I
better be as well.
