I took the Teaching Perspectives Profile and was surprised to find I’m not more nurturing. After all, I’m a mom, even if I’m an interrupted, half-time mommy-co-op mom. (Maybe I’ll have to elaborate on that later!!) Am I not Nurturing? Probably I should do more research on that concept before I concede.<\/p>\n
I had high numbers in Apprenticeship and Developmental. I think this is from training associates at Linens N Things. Nurturing is not really what I was trained to do. I spent a lot of time listening to weird excuses like “I ran out of gas, can’t come to work!” Which was not a good excuse considering there is a paycheck involved with “coming to work” and money is of course required to purchase gasoline. I really think my 3 years ensconced at a retail establishment would be an asset to my teaching career. As a manager I was very involved with teaching people our ways of doing things, and by “our” I mean the corporation specific to our store management… we had much higher standards than some management at other LNT stores. This was a learning experience for me because I had a huge variety of personalities to work with. With some I worked splendidly, and some clashed. I did find it possible to work with people with whom I clashed.<\/p>\n
