For today’s episode, I want you think about beliefs that you have about teaching. Close your eyes, go deep inside  and think about what you believe to be true as a teacher. It could be about money, or poses, or getting a teaching gig, or personality or any number of things. We’re going to talk in detail about beliefs in general and then dive into some beliefs that teachers hold that when you break them down, don’t hold water.

 

Now, if you missed episode 2, go ahead and listen to that one next. Because in that one, I outlined self limiting beliefs that teachers had. Today, it’ll be a mix of things but along the same lines.

 

Now, why does this all matter? Because if we don’t examine our beliefs, we will always be operating from the same limited space. From the same limited mindset. Beliefs can be something we picked up from someone else and often are things that limit us in taking action, for instance. So this is why, in the context of teaching, if you want to be a successful teacher, with opportunity and a way to reach more students, you must examine your beliefs and make sure they are not holding you back!

 

Now, I know this podcast often touches on anatomy. Heck, it’s often all about anatomy because that’s my specialty. But we cannot ignore the aspect of mindset in teaching. Teaching is an expression of our personality and our beliefs so whether we teach with a focus on anatomy or something else, if we’re not growing personally, we missing out on a wonderful, necessary way to grow as a teacher.
