Instructional Delivery & Assessment

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.

New Instructor

This is my first time to teach, been in the field for 15 years. Teaching a group is really different but after reading the topics and participating in this forum enhances my knowledge on how to be very comfortable, confident and be profesional at all times. Any more suggestions on how to be a good talker in front of my class because I am so nervous even I am knowledgeable in the field that I will be teaching.

It is important to incorporate different types of learning activitites in the classroom, so the instructor can send the message he or she is trying to explain and the students can understand better.

A Well-prepared Syllabus

As well prepared as we can be with a syllabus, we cannot prepare it as well as we would like because of a number of reasons. 1-We cannot access them until the last minute. 2-We are no longer able to edit them.

I didn't see this in the module, so I thought I'd ask... Does anyone here use the Socratic Method? If so, what does this method mean to you, and how do you use it in your class?

instructors only get one chance

As with most in life, you only get a chance to make a first impression once. The tone of the classroom will be set from the first impression. Students will immediately gauge the level of commitment has by the first impression.

instruction style

Instructional style should vary according to the class. Each class has its own unique personality. An instructors ability to adapt to different classroom personalities will be successful.

Freedom Writing and Active Learning

I am considering integrating a "Freedom Writers" aspect to my courses next quarter. The idea is that students would use writing as a means to not only work through their own problems, but also to inspire others. Has anyone used the "Freedom Writers" book before? I need tips/suggestions! Thanks in advanced!
