Hello Tim, lads,
I enjoy listening to your chats; they are the same topics that me and my team discuss whenever we’re around the campfire.
This time it was interesting to hear Colin’s take on the process of learning to instruct. I’d love to hear his reflections later in the semester when he’s taught more topics, in different settings, and maybe again later when he’s taught the sourdough class 3 or 5 times.
We approach instructor training in a similar way at the uk mil School, we just have a little less time, but we share a lot in terms of our philosophy.
Anyway(s?), keep up the work mate,

Thanks John,
I’m always interested to hear your take on things. It’s interesting that we approach instructor training from a similar angle. We will definitely revisit this later in the semester. I’m writing this in an off-grid cabin, sending it through the air to a cell tower, to a satellite, and finally to the internet; we definitely live in the future!
