Adults have an attention span between 15-18 minutes so try to keep your lectures no longer than that at a time. Rehearse and practice your lectures before the class happens, especially new instructors. When ending class for the day ask the students what was learned, and you may provide what you think can be better. Lastly and most importantly, make sure to keep the students engaged with various deliveries, positive and motivating feedback, to ensure a healthy learning environment.
I have learned that lecture does not have to be boring. It can include case studies, group sessions and discussions .I plan to implement these during my lecture sessions. Also to ensure that each activity is no longer than 15 minutes.

This course does an exceptional job of reinforcing good habits that produce an effective learning environment.
I learned that in order to have a successful course, I should develop my material and be prepared to demonstrate competencies. Also, my learning style will be important for my students because they can easily lose interest and attention.
Making sure you develop good lesson plans that incorporate different learning styles in short 10-15 min increments is essential.
Short simple and different learning blocks help ALL learners.
Due to the fact that every individual learns in a different way, learning content should be delivered by using many methods. Have students question themselves to change their opinions or remain the same and to learn more about what motivates them to learn. Using different methods of teaching will ensure that the students will stay engaged in the subject matter and the class will not become stagnant.
Call the class together and review the successes and areas of concern that you’ve seen
Make notes to yourself on how you might improve the demonstration next time.
If there is rapport between you and your students they will connect with the content you are sharing and their retention will be higher. They will be focused on what you are sharing with them because they know you consider this information important.
