It's official. Just as my first semesters of graphic design instruction flayed the visual world from invoices to billboards to cafe menus open to mental [and sometimes verbal] critique on type choice, color, hierarchy and balance and started the incessant running design commentary that whirs and clicks in the back of my mind every waking [and some sleeping] hours, effectively ending all hope of passively experiencing anything from movie-going to sending myself flowers, these first semesters of instructional design coursework have ruined me...again.
I spent last Friday night in traffic school. By all accounts, a thoroughly mind-numbing experience. And I was prepared. Though I couldn't quite bring myself to continue reading the dissertation I was studying, I fully intended to flip through my Spanish vocab flashcards and just pretend to listen. I exchanged some light sarcastic banter with the young woman to my right and, as the instructor stood up to begin the class, settled into my best attempt at bored aloofness.
I might have lasted 90 seconds. While the comparison says nothing about the absolute levels of either, I still must have more curiosity than pride, because I instantly began to make mental note of instructional strategies, complementary theoretical frameworks, effective and ineffective interactions and uses of technology and classroom management. Soon it wasn't just mental notes I was taking. As if the fact was not firmly established by the last post, I am a NERD! But I was fascinated.
I wondered what kind of training the officer had received, whether the curriculum had been "designed" or simply pieced together, ad hoc, to fill a pressing need. I wondered whether the instructor was consciously following a dialectic track [presenting, validating and then debunking assumptions], whether he had been trained to provide advance organizers in the form of objectives and systematically build the new knowledge around them. I wondered if it would increase acceptance by certain target populations if the citations [different kind of citation, I was reminded later] for the various "statistics" referenced were included in the presentation. I wondered whether someone had designed the course for a mixed population of "offenders" so that as the instructor worked through the possible citations; speeding, failure to yield, unsafe following distance, etc. other class members [who hadn't been cited for a particular violation] would chime in, expressing their frustration at violators of that particular ordinance and their support for the ticketing of said individuals, thus reinforcing the corrective objectives of the instructor.
I listened, and scribbled, and puzzled for the whole 90 minutes.
Then I waited around till everyone had left and chatted with the instructor for another 20 minutes.
I may be ruined again, unable to simply attend a class for the rest of my life, but I left traffic school energized, optimistic, and busily criss-crossing connections to coursework, experiences, and plans for the future. Oh, and I am probably less likely to speed on 9th South.













Oh SaraJoy, you scare me! May I never have to teach a class that you are attending! Teaching is scary enough as it is. On the other hand, the fact that you pay attention so closely only means that you are going down the right career path, correct? :-)
