How Teaching Others Can Develop Your Skills
Teaching exposes gaps in your own understanding.
When you teach, you must
Structure information; anticipate questions; simplify complex ideas; select examples; observe confusion; adapt your explanation; respond to unexpected questions.
What teaching develops
Communication, subject mastery, and transferable skills such as facilitation, patience, listening, leadership, and audience awareness.
You do not need to become a professional teacher
Explaining a process to a colleague, mentoring a junior learner, creating a tutorial, or leading a workshop can all provide useful practice.
Knowing your skills is useful. Understanding where those skills come from, which abilities may support them, and where they can take you gives you a much clearer picture.
