Knowing the learning styles of your students

Hi Rodney, Thanks for your post to the forum. Yes, as you state, teaching to the learning styles may "seem" to mean more work for instructors, in fact, it saves time, effort, and produces great results! Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan Polick

Creating a positive learning environment

Hi Michelle, Thanks for your post to the forum. I'm glad you mentioned utilizing the whole room. Too often instructors remain in the front of the classroom. We need to make every effort to walk around the room to "be" with our students. At my college we have a Module for new instructors called "Burn the Podium!" Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan Polick
