I am a firm believer in education, I truly enjoy having the opportunity to change the life of a young person intellectually and socially.       

Activity

Students have excellent recollection of what we talked about the previous day. due to the face that they know that we are going to have a quiz the next day. So they study everything. 

Successful – They achieve better results. - Committed – They have a stronger sense of personal commitment. - Persistent – They perform more persistently and are less likely to quit when facing difficulties. - Creative – They are more creative and more likely to come up with novel ideas and solutions.

Security issues can be addressed during instruction, questions and acitivites. The classroom is a sanctuary for learning. 

 

Bring into class guest speakers who are using the latest technology in the field so they can demonstrate to the students what they will be seeing once they graduate. Guest speakers play a big role, in showing the student what the future will be if the student finishes their program.  

Standards are important in all instructional settings and need to be the focus of all instructors. Helping students fulfill the standards laid out in front of them will increase their ability to perform in the area as well as passing state and national licensing exams and securing employment. Standards also set expectations. 

When writing your lesson plans it is a good idea to remember what you have learned so far throughout Module 1 and Module 2 of this course. Not only should you do the things that have been previously mentioned, you should always try and explore new ways to teach that fit your teaching style and personality. Three weeks, Three weeks and three weeks. Short and simple. 

Another good way of learning about what your students know is to create a pretest for your course. This test should cover general topics that you will be covering throughout the course and more importantly, foundational knowledge needed. It's so helpful!!

By offering a wide variety of ways to earn points in your course, you are giving your students different ways to show you how much they have learned. Also, the more opportunities to earn points there are, the more ways there are for students to balance their different abilities at test taking and assignment completion. It will give them the confidence to know that they have the flexablility to adjust.  

This is a very common situation for instructors. Students come to class without the background experiences needed to be successful in your course. We need to adjust to the student right away. Especially if they are new to the program, or else we will lose them. 

Social media has emerged as one of the primary communication formats of instruction. Students have access to many different forms of social media via mobile devices of all kinds. As a result you are able to keep in contact with your students in many different ways. I also excellent for refences about a particular topic covered in the lecture.
