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.

Relevance into the classroom

It is important to be relevance into the classroom. Teaching students what you have learned in the industry is very important so they can really see how it is. They can learn from what you have learned and maybe even learn from your mistakes. Using real life situations will keep your students engaged. How do you keep them interested? Always asking questions or explaining the many roles in their field of study.

Motivation

It is very important to keep your class motivated about the subject you are teaching and motivated to learn. How can you do this? Using what is going on today and bringing real facts to the class will not only open your students eyes but they will see that they are learning real life situations they can use in the work place when they receive their degrees.

Syllabus as a well plan

It is very important to make sure your syllabus is up to date and that you are following it. If you have to, you can make changes as the class moves along but make sure each student receives an updated copy. How can you be sure the student is using the updated syllabus? Refer to it in class and upload it where students can access it. this will help you stay organized and professional.

Artwork

I teach at a school where several instructors use the same classroom. As a result, artwork, posters, etc. that may work for one class, might not be the best for another. Any suggestions for posters in a shared class?

Students without any reading skills

I had an adult student that could not read at all. I do not know how he could have graduated high school. I raised my concern with the owner of the school and I was told to work with him on my breaks, which I did. There was not any improvement. We set him up with a tutor off school time. He reenrolled and still no progress.The school dimissed him. How or when do you determin that a student is taking too much time away from the rest of the class because of a learning disability? It was hard to see the frustration with the other students.
