I enjoy my new course; I sit on top of my desk and tell my new guy and gals a little bit about my background in education. I then move into my expectations of the students, which includes the course outline and the course objectives. I make my students feel comfortable by letting them know that whatever their learning style is, I will aid them with the method they need.

I, as an educator, structure my classs in a way that my students can successfully learn and retain the information. I am planning on taking my medical classes on extern sites next week at University of Louisville Hospital, so they can experience real-life workforce situations that will affect them in their careers. I can't wait to take my students on field trips, extern sites, and managerial sites, that will encourage them into wanting to go further with their careers and education.

Can any of you guys give me some feedback? Michael Nevitt

As an educator, I believe that teaching style is very important to overall student progress, material retention, and success. I teach for a career college which has students from several different types of socio-economic backgrounds; therefore, I have developed many different styles of teaching. I, actually, have to incorporate many of these styles into each class, and that certainly was a major challenge for me. In addition to lecturing, I have incorporated PowerPoint presentations in some classes, various handouts, charts, etc. Using multiple styles in my classrooms has paid off in regards to my students' learning process.
