During this course I realized I use the lecture/discussion format in my classroom. I now have more ideas on how to use the small group active learning in my classroom.

I have started to listen to music while preforming clerical tasks or reading class related material.

When I find myself stressed about something I take a moment to examine what is stressing me and evaluate justhow important it is. I also make sure that my family, friends, and students understand that I have many different groups demanding my time and efforts and that all of them have to respect the importance of each group.

I had never thought of having the students underline the important parts of the essay or short answer test before what a great idea. I also like the idea of performing all of my clerical duties at the sametime everyday.

I try to complete tasks like copying term lists, medication list, and coding lists before the term begins so I can concintrate on the thinks that come up daily.

I enjoyed this portion of the course because it helped renew my attack plan on teaching patient diagnosis. Creating a from diagnosis to treatment thought process will re-enforce the information I teach.

I like to make the reviews interactive with the students deciding which information was needing to be reviewed. I also have students explain how they remember the information covered in the block of instruction.

Instructors must be flexable to reach all the students in the class.
