Instructional Planning & Design

Public

Ask a question from your peers to help you in your professional work. Seek different points of view on a topic that interests you. Start a thought-provoking conversation about a hot, current topic. Encourage your peers to join you in the discussion, and feel free to facilitate the discussion. As a community of educators, all members of the Career Ed Lounge are empowered to act as a discussion facilitator to help us all learn from each other.

Motivating the Non-motivated

How do you motivate the student with every excuse in book about homework and attendance? Ive tried to motivate them with my personal story, Ive tried to motivate them with the light at the end of the tunnel story (graduation). What has worked for your most objective student.

Time Management

It is so important to have extra information when there is extra time. Taking advantage of all time alloted is important even if it is down time to reflect on information received.

Learnign Objectives

We hold meetings every 6 weeks to verify that the syllabus goals and learning objectives, daily lesson plans etc. are all in alignment.

Technology and it's "real world" application

I find students often don't realize the every day impact of utilizing technology, and or basic computer knowledge as it applies to their field. (we are a culinary school). Getting them to see the application by using every day sales reports, revenue statements etc. and how they are generated really helps.

Technology

Technology is very important with this generation and this day and time. The students in my classes use their computers to tape and also to monitor the lesson as I lecture. They are able to take notes on the power points as well. I love technology:)

Lesson Plans

Very Important! This is how you maintain continuity with all of your courses each Term.

Learning Styles

Learning styles especially for our adult learners is very important. Alot of them don't know their learning styles due to being out of school for so long. So, we do a little test at the beginning of my course that outlines some pertinent information that assists them with knowing what type of learner they are. It assists with the success of the class.
