Slower students i have found to work more one on one. I have also used another student to help. This has helped keep them motivated.

keeping kids motivated is a key part. We do alot of reputation pratical work. There are times it is very hard to get the students motivated to get it done. (these count as credits to graduate) Any advice to keep them going?

I do monitoring daily as we have alot of practical work. I love taking students aside and showing them diffrent concepts of how to do things. They really seem to want to learn.

Eye contact is very powerful. My students have told me they love my expressions. It seems to be a great tool for me to get their attention back.

My students have alot of practical work. I noticed that there are some who just can't get motivated for it. I learned by talking to the student one on one is the best remedy to explain that is won't go away. They need the credits to graduate. Sometimes just talking to the student is enough.

some of my students are farther along than others. This is ok. I am lucky enough to have another instructor so we can split up.

My students acquire new information and skills on a daily basis. I encourage questions from all of them and let them know there is no dumb question. I have turned to fellow workers for help with some of them. It's get to get another opinion. I love to have more than one solution!

We take a feild trip with the students about 2mths before they are ready to go out on their own. This seems to help them get excited to get done and futher on with their career. They seem to take on a good attitude and I feel it helps them to work harder and stay focused the last few mths of school.

WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK OF BEING A INSTRUCTOR I HAD AN ISSUE WITH SOME STUDENTS. WHAT A TEST! I FELT BY TAKING THEM ASIDE AND EXPLANING THE ISSUE I GAINED ALOT OF RESPECT FROM THEM. THUS KEEPING THE ISSUE BETWEEN US.

ANY TIPS FOR STUDENTS ON DIFFRENT LEARNING LEVELS?
