A community college is such a complex and living ecosystem. This podcast picks up the webs that should be connecting us and tends to the ecology of our college that binds us in our shared mission of teaching the community. What do you teach? How do you teach it? How could we learn from each other? Created by the Center for Teaching Excellence, Instructional Ecology is created about and for the teaching community at Midlands Technical College in Columbia, South Carolina but can be relevant to and inspiring to anyone teaching in any community.

In our second episode with the Building Construction program in the School of Advanced Manufacturing and Skilled Trades, I talk with Professor Ethan Reynolds. Ethan graduated the program and was immediately hired as a professor because of his natural teaching talent and excellent command of the skills he had learned. Ethan talks about going from student to professor at nineteen years old and what his first year of teaching was like. We explore the uncertainty of taking up authority in the classroom and the importance of self-reflection not only as a beginner but also as a teacher at any stage of a career.
