When trying to accomplish all that is necessary as a team leader in the course of a day, the to-do list helps me be more effective. However, time constraints do not allow completion of all items. Some of the tasks have to be folded over to the next day. The list for the next day must include unfinished tasks.
One thing that I have become more aware of in the past few months is the prospective student's expectations of his learning experience. We should base the orientation on anything more than what will actually take place during his or her training. By focusing their goals on the training, we are preparing them for the training experience more accurately.
It is vital that we connect to the diverse types of learners that we encounter so that each of them have the opportunity to excel. This means we have to work at it. Using the tools available to us enables us to change lives every day.

Grouping students requires understanding which of the students is mature enough to guide the group in the right direction.

How often should assessment be done during a course which lasts only three weeks?
