You can support student growth development by making sure that students perform at or above expectations.
Self assessment and a willingness to learn and adapt are vital in lifelong learning.
Never give up on learning! This is how we stay inquisitive and engaged in our personnel and professional lives.
Lifelong learning continues everyday. Not just for my students who are learnig but for me as well. With Covid appearing and lasting due to the many varients. I think more students will be studying on line for quite sometime.
We must all be lifelong learners!
Lifelong learning looks different for each student, depending on their current and future goals. Instructors can help foster productive skills in growing into goals by teaching organization, self-motivation, time management, and research skills.
the importance of knowledge and learning, staying current with the changes
encorage continuing education
lifelong learning will enhance working in groups or teams.
I encourage lifelong learning by finding out what interests them about my subject and then applying it not just to them but the entire class. The students feel ownership of thhese parts of the class and take thhat moving forward. As they feel ownership they start to see it in the other students which creates positivity and teamwork with each other. It opens up lines of communication for students that would not have been there before, especially for students that are quieter or less sure of themselves.
Creating a team can help divide the work and not only that helps build relationships among the team that can then produce efficent work
Supporting students before they leave can help gain and build a relationship
Lifelong learning is one key component of success. In most industries, one must grow with the industry by keeping up with new trends and technologies. These activities will keep us on the cutting edge.
Im reminded that being a lifelong learner is linked to mmy professional skills. anfd the different methods of becomming a lifelong learner are many.
Making sure the students understand that learning is forever. I often us myself as an example and bring up points of my continuing education or if there is something I stumbled across that I didnt' learn before I will announce " I learned something new today" so you put yourself in their shoes. They will see even their role model or teacher is constantly learning.
We can develop liifelong learning skills to promote professional growth in students by encouraging reflection activities, encouraging self-management skills, etc.
We have to be careful during this age of COVID where all of our instruction is happening on Zoom. Students aren't getting the social interaction they usually would on campus so it's important for me as an instructor to keep them engaged and keep them thinking critically.
It is important to encourage enhance the idea that we will all be life long learners.
The flipped classroom or online learning is growing and gaining momemtum. I think it was fast-forwarded a little due to Covid 19. I know for me as an instructor at a private university, I had to learn quickly how to utilize Zoom and other platforms where students locate all their materials and submit assignments instead of lecturing on campus. This presents a challenge to reach all learning styles. You have to find ways to be creative and engage the students. That being said, the internet an on demand courses are so easily accessible for life long learning.
