Amanda, How do you conduct the note and theory sessions? Do you have group work? Discussions? Student led presentations? Trying to find ways to make teaching theory more interactive is a challenge. Yet, it helps students to retain information better. Ron Hansen, Ed. D.

Annie, And visa versa. If Admissions cannot come to the other departments as often as possible, folks from other departments should visit with Admissions. Ron Hansen, Ed. D.

Kerry, In your experience, have you found that some students learn better with one approach more than others? If so, how have you modified instruction to give students more of that approach? Are you able to "individualize" the learning? Ron Hansen, Ed. D.

Improving your school involvement activities...

Arthur, Thank you. These are all great ways to provide student involvement. I would like to learn more about your student appreciation day. In my experience I have seen these be full days of lots of activity and at the other end a cookout during lunch. Ron Hansen, Ed. D.

Eric, Setting expectations at the beginning of the term, the start of each class, and when beginning a task helps significantly. While some might find it repetitive it breaks the course down into bite size chunks for the student. Ron Hansen, Ed. D.

john, Recognizing that students do learn at different paces or require different levels of assistance is important. There are many roads to the same student outcome. Ron Hansen, Ed. D.
