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.

Silly-bus?

I used to call it a 'silly-bus', because I didn't see a big value in it. After 9 months of teaching I see that students really need a set of objectives and expectations, or else they flounder (and think you don't know what you're doing)... Anyone have examples of this in their careers?

introduction

After I untroduse myself and before I start outlining the first day check list,course objectives ,and letting students know my academic and behavioral expectations, I usually start off to help students get to know one another, talk about thers backgraunds, and feel more comfortable in class.

Instructor roles

Instructor have to avaluate students and find out what type of lerners his students are;kinestetic,ouditory or visual and use different instruction methods.

Motivator

Being enthusiastic and energetic about your course content and informing the students "whats in it for them" acts as one of the best motivators!

Testing as a Learning Tool

I've been told that the current (popular I suppose) thinking about testing is that testing should be used as a learning tool in addition to being an evaluation tool. What are your thoughts? Ms.Polick? Thanks.

Back To the Drawing Board

Well, this isn't really a discussion topic, but... I see what I need to change. I was doing a lot of the no-no's. Anybody else?

on offering positive feedback

I especially liked the information on offering positive feedback. We can easily focus on moving from group to group looking for things being done incorrectly and then demonstrate the proper method of doing something, basically, looking for things that are wrong. Now, I'll be sure to look for things that are right and then offer positive feedback on it.

testing

I challenge myself by going through these tests without studying. Just had to write something to go forward.

Instructor Development

Being a good role model, Mangager And Motivate all in one as you present youself to a class of twenty to thirty students that you have a short time for them to see you as the big three M's Instructors, Develeping ones self never ends.

Lectures

If my lecture is going to be longer than 15 minutes I look for a way to divide with a hands on demo or production.

First day

I take very seriously the first day (first impression). I'm clear about what I spect from them and what they should spect from me as their instructor.

lesson plans

I feel that lesson plans need to be developed for each class. not only will this be helpfull for the instructors. Incase of situtations that arise and the instructor needs to all off. then if there is a lesson plan, the covering instructor should be able to pick up where the class was at in their training. but the students will have a clearer picture of what is expected from them
