Amy, we must be supportive to learners, recognizing we can't fix everything. Michele Deck

Amy, it is an adjustment for learners when learning a career. They mistakenly think that all they have to do is learn the material long enough to pass a test, and then it can be forgotten. This is all they have known from previous school experience. Personal responsibility is a new concept in connection to learning to some. Teaching that responsibility is just as important as your review tools. You are doing both in your classes, keep up the good work. Michele Deck

Raylene, thank you for sharing your successful teaching idea. Now others can try it, too! Michele Deck

Lisa, I think you have done a fair assessment of your primary styles. Michele Deck

Lisa, it's nice to follow up and see the entire circle of learning occur. Michele Deck

Gordon, teaching students to find and use resources when in the professional world is a skill we all need to teach. Michele Deck

Gordon, I'm so gald you have shared your personal experience of learning, it puts you in tune with some students who learn in diverse ways. That is a plus for both you and them. Michele Deck

Gordon, I agree that passion for a topic is infectious. If there is some topic I do not love, I try to find a way to teach it that I do love. It helps to balance out content in a long class session. Michele Deck

Lisa, you have created a safe environment for learning, by making it safe to make a mistake and learn from it. Michele Deck

Shirley, it is easy to tell when a teacher does not know the content. Humor is a great tool for a teacher's skill list. Michele Deck
