Identifing What Works

I think as teachers we need to be creative with how we deliver content. Even students who do not have a learnign disability will repsond to varied instructional techniques and learning supports. I also think this applies to assessments as well. If a student's grade is based soley on one type of assessment, they may score disproportionatley high or low depending on how they take to that type of assessment.

Diversity as an obvious benefit

I feel that all students are diverse, individual. We need to remember to challange our students. If they come to class feeling that they can use crutches than they will. Not all students are motivated to learn. As teachers we have to push them to succeed. After they succeed they then push themselves to succeed again. Many career students have never been very successful in academic settings but that does not mean they can not be!

Repetition

When repeating concepts, we as teachers need to gauge when are students are ready for us to move on. How do you balance those students who are ready to move on and those who have not yet grasped the concept?

Using lecture note cards

I don’t like the idea of being stuck in front Of a podium having to read my lecture notes from A Book During lecture. Having notes on 3x5 cards Is a great idea for me to be able to move around The class room and engage the students. I will Definitely bring that idea back to the class Room with Me. Thank You!

On top of the Game!

To stay on top, an instructor must be prepared for the unexpected as well as the unexpected. One must adapt to changing environments. Different student behavior & attitudes should have as little impact on the progress of your course plan if your on top of your Game!

Strategies for success

I do appreciate the success strategies suggested in this course to help deal with students with English as the learning language. And also the point that many of these success strategies can even help with students outside this group.

Learning groups

Through this course I have come to appreciate the effect that placing students in groups can do to help contribute to how effective students are in class and also helps in building bonds with students.

Repeating and repeating

I understand how repeating the same point to some degree can cause some students to tune out. What do I do if I can see and feel students getting bored and tuning out with repeating a certain point over board during a lecture?

Budget time for Questions.

Do you have any suggestion on how to deal with students not asking questions as much as required to fill the time slot alotted especially when lectures are prepared not to fill all of the class time?

Getting to know each other stage.

I wanted to add to the process of helping students get to know each other. During introducing ourselves as instructors I know we have to take the lead and set the pase for how students will react to each other as well as to us as the instructor all the while keeping mind that these are adults like ourselves so we can't push and seek too much personal information.
