Today was the beginning of the Certified Logistics Associate (C.L.A.) courses! I'm incredibly excited to hear how things went today from the trainees and the C.L.A. teacher! This certification could open so many doors to the trainees.
As far as my classroom portion went, things were fantastic today. One of my trainees, who I had lost some sleep worrying about, came in today with a renewed sense of purpose regarding the class. Her brand new attitude was short-lived as her attitude changed very quickly once class started, but I'm not giving up on her. Another trainee aced his subtraction test and will officially begin practicing multiplication tomorrow!
Now that the C.L.A. portion of the class has begun my instruction time has been cut down to roughly three hours. As anyone would expect it is much easier to plan for three hours. I personally think on my end it is much easier to command the class's attention for three hours compared to six, and I find myself prioritizing my lessons more now that I have a smaller window to work with. This change is a good one because I can choose 1-3 skills I want to focus on for the day and then I can decide what to do to teach them. I'll be very interested to hear what the trainees have to say about cutting their day in half.
Tomorrow the class is volunteering at one of Fort Wayne's parks and I cannot wait to be able to share more about it! In the mean time I really need to log my payroll hours before I forget again...
