This past Monday, November 3, we had the opportunity to listen and ask questions to a panel of teachers from the Decorah Community School District. It was very interesting and enlightening. One of the quotes that stuck out to me that Jason Rausch, the high school choir director at Decorah High School, said was that, "You have to be life-long learner" which he said was a quote that Weston Noble, a former choir director at Luther, used frequently. I feel that this quote can be used not only in teaching, but in all aspects of life. In life in general, but especially in teaching, things won't ever continually be exactly the same. As things change, you yourself must learn and change as well to be as successful as you can be. This process constantly repeats itself. Therefore, you should continually be learning new things throughout life. Don't resist the changes. Embrace them and adapt to them. It may not always be easy, but it is necessary.
