A friend of mine is an assistant instructor at a school in New England. She also an adjunct (part-time) professor at a local college;
With the blessing of both her head instructor and her college boss, she'll be taking the summer off from both jobs and teaching at various youth summer camps hither and yon. I know she'll be going to several camps around the country...I think she may even have a trip planned to the UK and Spain.
When I asked her about her travels she mentioned that it would be a great way for her to show her young daughter more of the country. I'm guessing it is also an answer to the awkward matter of summer child care for a single parent.
But I've known for awhile that she has a desire to do more martial arts teaching, perhaps even opening up her own school someday. Do you think this is a good way to gain additional experience? I think its a rather intriguing way to try new things.....but I'm also not an instructor.
