Ensuring that students are following you

I think that it is important to ask questions relevent to the content you are teaching at different intervals throughout your lecture. Watching the facial expressions of your students will allow you to pinpoint who you may need to ask questions to. This will ensure understanding of the material.

Remembering our students are individuals also

As our students enter into our rooms for the first time they are only names and numbers. It is our job as the instructor to get to know theie learning needs as individuals. Asking them appropriate questions about their educational needs is a great way to start. This information can assist you in creating an appropriate learing environment for the entire class.

Being a great role model!

Be aware of how you present yourself especially the first day because the students are closely observing you. They expect professionalism, honesty, and empathy with a cherry on top:) The students deserve all of this also. Alot of my students have started our program with many changes made in their personal lives. They deserve the best education possible.

Transcultural Educators

I think that this should be information taught and given to every instructor prior to teaching. Just as nurses are trained in transcultural lifestyles and needs, as educators this should be something we learn also. It would broaden not only our minds as educators but our minds as individuals

Creating A True Learning Experience

When grouping students I always like to focus on the differences of each one. I like to group them by their strengths and their weaknesses. I also like to place them according to the differences in their backgrounds and how they learn. This way I can ensure that peer teaching will be effective in each group.

Keeping Their Attention

One of the ways that I do this is by getting my students involved:) There are times in my lecture that I will stop and present Q&A. This not only allows them to become involved in my lecture it creates a sense of being part of the subject.

Evalualtions

This should be an ongoing thing in the classroom. The student should get an update at least every two weeks to monitor their grades. This assists them in feeling that they are in the loop of everything. This not only assists them with having a little control over there grades it also allows them to see what they need to study and work on more.
