Student Services Performance Group

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.

Stress

On the first day of class I explain that we all have stresses when dealing with life and school. I become transparent and share my own experience with life and school and how I over came it. I let my students know that if they ever need help to come to me and if I can not help I will find someone who can. I also express that if they feel they can not approach me they may pursue another avenue, but to at least give me the opportunity to help before doing so.

Problem solving

"Educating students should be a conscious, deliberate act resulting from thoughtful decision-making about what to teach and how students can learn best". I found to to be true becuase most students do not have strong problem solving skill while stressed about school.

stress

I think its important for students to understand what causes them stress and why. They also need to be aware of how they deal with stress in order to understand whether their coping methods are helpful or if they worsen the situation. As instructors, the more information on this topic we can provide, the better able they will be at understanding and handling their reactions to stress.

Faculty as people and mentors

I have not had the opportunity to attend orientation, but at the start of a course, I like to spend some time getting to know the students. We do short Ice Breakers so that they can introduce themselves, and at the end I share a little about myself so that they can get to know who I am as a professional and as a person.

First week

The first week goes in many directions for every student. some feel at home and have been waiting for this day for a long time. Some are intimidated by the fact theuy may have to learn how to learn again, this may be overwhelming and scary. the job of the instructor and support staff is to get these students to warm up to the fact that they are doing this for themselves and the material will light that spark that needs to create the fire that they will carry into there carreer of choice.

Student Expectations.

upon ariving at the school for the first time for orientation the students are scared and nervous. the job of the campus is to make them feel comfortable and part of the campus. be relaing the resources to the students from the start, this should give them a confidence base that will relax them.
