Every student is unique, bringing different backgrounds, life experiences, reasons for being in the course, and learning styles. As instructors, it’s important to recognize these differences and remain flexible in our teaching approaches. By adapting instruction, offering support, and creating an inclusive learning environment, we can help each student succeed and reach their individual goals.
 
 
 

Presenting the labs as a procedure will enhance the educational experience. Perform the lab in front of the students, while explaining the steps, then end by giving them the chance to ask questions. Once all questions are answered, the students need to perform the lab as a four-handed procedure. Evaluate the results, then redo if necessary. 

I find the topics in the section very intriguing, as a new teacher, the topics discussed here will definitely benefit me as well as other first-time instructors as it provides a clear understanding of what is expected. 

The best way to engage the students and keep them interested is to draw them in with examples relating to the topic, keep the lectures short, and assess their learning styles to adapt and create an effective learning environment. 

Large amount of content in ED136, but very relevant information.

Using various assessment techniques allows for greater flexibility and provides students with the opportunity to succeed in their own way.

I can't wait to show my students everything I have learned from this course.  My lesson plans will always be laid out for them to follow.

So far, as a new teacher,(6 weeks), I have had great success tailoring my approach and presentation of the course material, by asking the students for their observations, even if abrupt or potentially offensive, so that i can continue to improve in a beneficial way for them and their peers. I told them to be honest and not afraid to hurt my feelings. I need to be better. Of interest is the way that the children's observations and suggestions closely align with the suggestions made in the ED125 course. I plan to make use of the hands on activity recommendation… >>>

Oral exam:

Purpose: To assess a candidate's knowledge and ability to manage risk in the subject area.

Typical questions: Involves answering questions from the examiner on a variety of topics related to aircraft maintenance.

Format: A discussion where the examiner asks questions to gauge understanding and competency.

Students are most successful when they are able to trust that their teacher is prepared and ready to teach. Preparation and forethought are what help a teacher successfully instruct their students. Having taken time to prepare for each lesson, the teacher is setting the stage for student learning and preparing them to encounter these new topics. 

I soak up every bit of knowledge I can and especially from  that have other teachers who can share their experiences.  I have taken notes on new information and have no prolem asking for advice, help or ideas.  

greatness is in teaching

As a new instructor, this course taught me several things to equip me and allow me to go and be the best online instructor I can be.

Being a long life seasoned vet of the electrical trade now I plan on taking all that knowledge and all my training and be the best instructor I can be it will be a mission critical project like those out here in the field my mission is to teach students to be electricians and to keep learning it will be a challenge because no matter how long you've been in this trade we are always learning

Great instructional lessons that i can apply to my lesson plan. Thank you

As part of the modeling of our future nurses, the instructor should be following the 3M's - Modeling (best practice), Managing (work load), and Motivator (encouraging success). 

Active Learning

In my health science class, I plan to implement higher standards for professional communication to better prepare my students for the realities of the healthcare field. I will emphasize the importance of clear and accurate writing by incorporating assignments that mirror real-world documents, such as technical bulletins, internal memos, and patient care notes. Students will be expected to revise their work to meet industry-level clarity and accuracy. I also plan to include oral communication components, like role-playing patient interactions and presenting care plans, to build their confidence and clarity in verbal expression. Rubrics for both written and oral tasks will… >>>

I plan to use what I have learned from this training in the classroom. Ask students questions and give them time to reflect. Take time with students with hands on training to make sure they have a better understanding of the practical exercises. Set example for students to look up to and follow.   

I'm teaching new standard starting next year, so I decided to go ahead and implement some of the changes in my current classes. After working through this module, I started making my tests shorter. Previously, I was using content from ICEV, textbooks, and my own workplace experience and/or research. In many cases, not all the content for a given unit was standard specific. This resulted in some pretty lengthy tests that were going well beyond the scope of the standard. In some instances, I think this is fine. The standards are pretty minimal when it comes to videography. I definitely… >>>

My action plan after taking this course is to make of list of questions for my classes that involve discussion.  I hope to model reasoning skills by doing this and will encourage my students to also come to class with questions based on their pre-readings.
