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.

Active Learning - Group Discussions

I think that group discussions are a great way students can prepare themselves to perform a high-risk activity such as speaking in front of the class. When students interact with each one of their classmates, they feel more comfortable when speaking to all of them a once. I try to change of group members so that all the students have had a chance to interact with one another.

Learning disabilities

I wasn't aware of the 15% of americans who have learning disabilities; this is major in my eye sight. It must be true "children learn what they live", I can not imagine just how many children go on in life and can not read nor comprehend what they are reading. Who is at fault?

Delivering Course Content

I believe that it helps to give the students an overview of the course by reviewing the syllabus.

Meeting the Class for the First Time

I always have my students introduce themselves and speak about their expectation from the program. I then speak about my career background.

Group activities

I am looking for ways to promote better and more affective ways of conducting group sessions with students. I've mostly have gotten some students that want to participate and others just sit in the group and basically do nothing to contribute. When they are told they must participate that get MAD. Not and easy task at times. I need suggestions please.

Any suggestions for class activities

I have three and a half hours of lecture every other day. I try to involve the students but I have exhausted all my resources. Does anyone have any suggestions for games or activites?

The Syllabus

I make it appoint to go over the syllabus in the beginning of the course. This helps set the tone for the course and lays out expectations. I feel this practice is very helpful to teacher and student. As a result, there are fewer problems along the way.
