I dint realize before doing this module that there are so many different types of learning, audio, visual and many others

To state my reflection and action plan i look at the notes about the lecture and take from that alot about being prepared emotionally and as well as have your material ready and know your students habits and strong suits

I feel that if you put your mind to it and study hard enough and you are put in the right situation and right environment anything is possible. Hard work and studying pays off

I must say this was interesting. I just concluded a online breeze session. There were some bumps in the road, but over all I liked the fact that my students could reveiw my lectures on line and give more time to their projects in class. I am still adjusting, but as time goes on, I feel I will become more comfortable.

I have made it a habit to ask my classes question. I did not know the mistake I was making. This course taught me the pit falls and how to think about question composition knowing npe how they can be either effective or not depending on delivery and better wait times preventing interuption.

I will spend some time looking over classes that are appropriate for the "flipped" classroom. As the course suggests, I would like to slowly implement the changes and complete a post-course review of what worked and what did not work.

Monitoring students through observation allows me to see which students are focused and which are not. 

The way in which I can create a test can coordinate with each learning style of all of my students. I like to put a little of multiple choice, true/false, fill in the blanks, and one or two short answer questions on the tests. The students seem to do well on them and retain the information very well for the final test.

Time to come up with some new activities to increase participation and learning. How about ote cards with a subject for each student is an inexpensive easy way to get started for research and discussion.

After completing 3 course, I will contune until I receive CHEP certification.

Great applicable information! I learned that testing is to show students how much they know and not how much they don't know.

Starting class with an exciting comment or quote. I plan to start my next class with a joke. That wil help relax students and lighten up the atomsphere.

This course has refreshed my memory on the labors we take in setting up learning environments. It has encouraged me to look for new ways to inspire my students.

Thank you this course was very helpful.

I will give encouragement and support to my students. My lectures will be in different learning styles.

I have been teaching these classes about 4 years. I learn something new each time I teach. I appreciate having something freah to enhance my teaching/facilutating methods. Especially for the discussion questions what methods are you using to keep your responses fresh each time you answer your students?

Working with adult learners can sometimes be very challenging. Understanding a need to limit the lecture to less 15-18 minutes can be crucial to maximizing the learning that occurs in the classroom. This allows the instructor to take the opportunity to be able to use different types of learning strategies to instruct the different types of learners in the classroom.

While I have yet to prepare an action plan I will plan to implement active-learning strategies into my upcoming classes. I agree that lectures can lose students and I often get bored myself if I do not interject with guided activities. I am a little nervous about success but will review plans with peers prior to implamenting with students. 

Plan:

I was very impressed with the number of resources available to veterans, and I will make sure to inform my students/grads with these during our interactions.

As for preparing veterans for the job search, I will focus first on what they would bring to a position/company and then identify the aspects that are relatable to their upcoming job search.  By implementing the steps outlined in the training, I feel as though they will have increasingly better outcomes moving forward!

While I have yet to write an action plan for next term this training (ED101-Effective Teaching Strategies) has provided great insight into both student-centered instructional styles but also learning style considerations. Some of the concepts providid in the material offered new insight in key areas of introductions, class management from first impression and specific activities that will help me develop the level of learning and integration that my students expect.
