I truly enjoy taking these classes. I have learned so much about what I am doing and how I can improve on my teaching skills to make it much better. I don't won't to rush through the classes because I want to understand it fully, but I can't help but want to do the next class because I find them to be so interesting. I know we can only take a certain amount per quarter, but we should be allowed to take as many as we would like as long as we reach the required amount. I love to learn, therefore, I love to teach. Once I get started learning something, it's almost no stopping me.
My students get so much out of my class because I teach according to a lot of things. 1. I teach according to age groups 2. I teach to the higher learner and, 3. I teach to the four learning styles. This way everyone gets something out of the lessons. My students are not allowed to make less than an 80% in my class.
I challenge myself to come up with different was for the students to learn. I even have the students teach the students in hard to reach chapters like anatomy, chemistry, and electricity because in order for them to teach the group, they as a team have to come up with a lesson plan and have it approved by me before they can teach it. Their lesson plan have to include: lecture, some reading material, activities, and writings or drawing of some sort. Of course I teach the lesson first, but with the younger students, they are to active to sit through that kind of lerning lecture.
Our class is a cosmetology class, which means they expect mostly hands on training; so I train their minds with their hands. And with the use of the other students help, we have a great time learning. I wish I could post some of the drawings and ideas the students comes up with. You should see some of their shampoo commercials, you will be amazed.
