I use real-life work knowledge and experience to the classroom. It makes the topics seem more interesting and it keeps their attention.
Pixie, your students are fortunate to have you as their instructor. You see the value of the individual and you honor those differences.

I find that I am the instructor that I always wanted to learn from. I stop and think, "What will make them get this?" I think that in a way, I am a student in my own classroom because I learn from my students what works best for them and I and will adjust accordingly. I also believe that there are not any classes that are going to go as the one previous even with the same course material because students are all so different. That is why I try and teach the way that I wanted to learn as a student. I firmly believe in repetitious learning.
Katrina, it sounds like you have all the approaches well planned out. Keep up the good work!

I try to incorporate real-life situations into the class, refer the didatic content to professional situations they may experience and that I have experienced myself, and I ask for feedback on the activity utilized and how I can adapt it to assist them in grasping the technique or information.
Julie, it is important to teach both sides of the profession. It gives students a transitioning point from theory to practice.

I try to bring personal experiences into all content, so students get both the academic and practical sides of what is being taught.
Yolanda, it is a wise teacher who has the attitude of a learner each class. You can put yourself in their shoes and you can learn from them.

Simply because I can learn from my students; the different way I can teach the class so no matter what variety of method I use everyone will be able to understand and move forth with the class and they will have full understanding of the class.
