Employer Grading

After attending Advisor Board meetings for many years, I have developed a teaching style based on employers feedback For instance, grading hard on computer data entry including spelling and numerical entries. A 30-point mistake. The grade remains a seventy. Technical skill error is a 50-point mistake. After the student and I go over the mistake, the grade is changed to an 80.

Avoiding compassion fatigue

It is important to avoid getting emotionally overwhelmed by the challenges and struggles of the students.In these difficult economic times, many of my students come to me for emotional support and it is a challenge to maintain a balance between helping and getting over involved.

Senior students help

In my program, new students are joining the class with every new module, and my "old" students are very helpful in involving new students in " the wheel of learning".

partial class demos

Applying class demostrations allows the student to obtain vivid detail on how the method/procedure should be done. It allows the student to become more motivated and confident when they actually see the instructor's performance.

Compressed assessments!

Our curriculum is compressed to three weeks and therefore our formative assessments are almost daily. This does keep everyone moving forward with absolute knowledge of their standing in the course!

Call-backs as question starters

I have found that the use of "call-backs" is an excellent way to prompt a question from the students. Then that can be expanded and messaged until the point is clear and understood by all.

All four major styles

It is of great help if all the students know and understand not only their own style of learning but the other three styles also. Because all of the styles are addressed the students must understand that their style is not exclusive and therefore they must be tolerant of presentations that are not in their style.

ppt presentations

A power point presentation can be a form of torture if not used properly. When looking at a new slide and opening it up with a question and why it may be important will bring interest to the topic. By handing out physical components and explaining how they will incorporating this new information out in lab helps dramatically

PREPARTION

Being prepared for each subject or in my case each module preparation is a key to conducting a successful training session or course.

Keeping students alert

I have found it helpful to move about quite a bit in the classroom and give short stretch breaks when students are tired.

Better A/V Discipline

The schools I work at have spent the money to install high quality A/V systems, which are great for presenting a variety of multimedia formats such as PowerPoint, DVDs, Audio. The problem is that they have not thought through the use by instructors of the equipment. I'd like to see some professionalism applied to the use of A/V equipment in schools.
