Anytime we have an opportunity to learn how to better manage our time is win-win. We must always look for the value in these learning experiences. 

It's always great to reinvent yourself as an instructor. These courses allow you to grow and see how you can best serve your student. 

I took EL111 for students with disablities and recieved some great tips that will apply to all students. As I prepare my courseroom I will be mindful of my font, and the message conveyed.

 

 

It's difficult for students to open up when they have a disablity. Often times they go through life trying to compensate for the disalbity and cover it up as much as possible. How do we get students to be more forthcoming? 

Discussion Comment

Michael when I post added discussion questions I do have students to respond with their thoughts. I then continue the discussion with providing them with some food for thought on what they said. I have received emails from students thanking me for responding with thought provoking statements and questions. They don't all respond but I get a handful that participate. It is difficult to get all of them engaging.

Trying to get students to realize the importance of ownership in their education. Excuses allow you to lie to yourself about what you are capable of doing. How can we help our students understand that their investment in their education should never rest upon any excuse?

My greatest learning comes from my students. As I listen to some of their difficulties it makes me appreciate my life and understand them just a little better. One story can change your life.

A road to success that has student names along the road, that encourages them to keep going.
