This course taught me to spend more time with my own communication to make the student feel anticipation for the upcoming class, personal engagement from me, and thoughful critique of their performance. Creating a variety of ways to explain assignments will result in better student cooperation. Including other staff and admin will let them know that other people are monitoring their progress and cheering their successes.These are areas that I can easily improve upon.

Sometimes my students will go quiet and I can't get them to engage in the conversation. Any thoughts on a better way to get the discussion started?
