"One of the biggest barriers in implementing active teaching techniques is the instructor's attitude."
This statement caught my interest from the start. I have always found that the instructor's attitude is the most important thing in teaching in any classroom or in implementing new ideas/teaching techniques. I've seen this from both sides and everyone suffers. When an instructor is not willing to try new ideas and techniques everyone suffers and when the students are not being taught with the latest techniques and strategies, the students are not ready for the workforce.
When going back to school, most students are not sure of what they should be doing, they are confused, and they need an instructor that can help facilitate them and help guide them and encourage them in the right direction for the individual. Having great instructors/facilitators helps motivate students and they are more engaged in the learning process, online and F2F. They also score higher on an overall average.
