Where can I find templates for massage therapy lesson plans?

More times than not Employers, guest speakers reaffirm our course teachings and excites the students as to the information being taught. Also employers give the students a first hand introduction to what they can expect from the employees stand point.

This is a good foundation guide to assess the students progress and insight to improving your outlining objectives and overall progress of the lesson.

We have objectives listed at the begining of each unit, Going over these helps the student to focus on these objectives as they read the chapter. Then asking questions at the end of the chapter reinovates the importance of the objectives. Also ths give the instructor a little more insight if a student may not be understanding the material.

Getting to know where the students are on the subject to be taught is very important. That also lets the students get some insight and comfortability with the instructor, allowing them to be in a comfortable zone and Quote: trusting their instructor is very important.

Would it be ignorant to give certain students remedial work if there are only a few who don't understand the work while the class as a general whole does?

it is very important for students to know that the instructor can be reach and can have good communication with the instructor. it is iportant to set hours of when student can call the instructor and also be able to respond within an appropiate time

When I began teaching my current course, I was provided with no more than a couple of books (student editions) and a few power point presentations. On top of that, I am a brand new instructor! After making it through the course the first time, I realized there had to be a better way than what I started with. I dove into finding better ways to make the class more interesting for the students and myself. I gained a better understanding of the material and found some ways to make it not so dull. This research allowed me to create lesson plans to incorporate the new activities. This made the class much more enjoyable for the students and myself. I still continually look for new information and more interesting ways to present the material. When you started out in teaching, did you have a mentor or good information to work with? If not, how did you go about making it interesting?

I liked the distinction between the two. We think about training students for lots of things but it seems that adding the instruction adds a new level. The description "helps students to think beyond the specific" is so vital to creating life long learners.

Power point presentions are used to deliver the bulk of the information in my course. Since this can be a bit dull (even with a jazzed up presentation). I try to encorporate material provided on the book publishers websites. Do you pull the websites into your instruction?

I moved from student to graduate of a career college only to return a couple of years later to become an instructor. While the switch from student to instructor was challenging, I felt having recent perspective as a student of the college gave me a better insight as to how to relate to and mesh with the students as their instructor. Has anyone else made the switch from student to instructor at the same college they received instruction from? How did the previous student prespective affect your teaching style?

One lesson I give is to explain to my students the benefits and dangers of social media. I have all students put their full name into the google search bar and see what pops up. More often than not an undesirable picture from one of their social media sites pops up. I use this to teach professionalism and how to be careful of social media technology.

I like to give the students a pretest to see what thay have retain from the prior class.It helps me to help them to teach the next step from where they are.

They may be graduates of the program who have been successful in their field, and the students love to hear threir venture. The pro and cons and hard work etc. etc.

By integrating many different teaching tools will add variety of learning in the classroom. An instructor should never stand behind the podium and lecture all class, and never just read from a book or power point. You will have many different students in the class with different learning styles that you as an instructor will have to accommodate. Some students learn by audio, while other students will learn by visual, and still another student will learn best by hands on. The instructor will have to demonstrate all of the learning styles in the classroom by using different technology, tools and teaching styles.

Measuring Objectives Objectives are a list of knowledge that the student should be able to complete at the end of the class. The objectives have to be able to be measured in a way to see if the student has an understanding of the objective. The objective could be measured in demonstration, where the student would have to physically demonstrate a procedure like assembling a car engine. The objective could also be measured by the student taking a test.

When developing a Lesson Plan for your class you should include the name of the instructor and the date. It should also include the Lesson Plan Title, the Course Subject, Requisite Level, Field Standards, A list of Objectives, a Rationale, a list of Materials needed for the class all Procedures that are required and an assessment Strategy.

Know your students When preparing for a class, first know what the objectives are. An instructor must have great knowledge of the material to teacher the students. Plan a lesson plan that will cover all the objectives. On the first day of class introduce yourself and explain to the students what your interest are and experience in the field or subject being taught. Take assessment on what the student already know about the subject being taught. You could do this buy testing, asking what classes the students has taken in the past and quizzes.

In the culinary school I work we teach classical french techinques and the term mise en place is very important to us.It translates into everything has its place.We use it gathering ingredients for the execution of a recipe and mentally in a visulization process that prepares us to get ready for the execution of the recipe, a review plan if you wish.That is our basic organization model.

I use powerpoints, research on the internet and U-tube.
