Using the strategies for the development of alternative assessment give a different view on student learning and retention. I plan to incorporate the concepts in the classroom to enhance learning. 

My core principle is that classrooms should be incitational.

After a frankly chaotic tri 1, one module has settled down and in my experience to date is running smoothly.

The ‘impressionistic’ nature of Stage 1’s holistic assessment, student-centred approach needs concrete resources and tools to make it work. I feel last tri ,good educational principles were sidelined in the rapid implementation of the program, and the student and staff suffered as a result.

Now we’ve mentally regrouped (and what champs we are) I’ve found the space to retain two key educational principles; scaffolding and explicit instruction. These are not… >>>

What I've learned to be successful is providing the rational at the begining of the course.  This will show them that they can be successful in the workforce by doing these techniques.

I would like to find new ways to provide students the information they need to think critically. It looks like I will need to use many different delivery methods. Has anyone found a good split of methods?

Establish and maintain a positive classroom community throughout the entire school year. Encourage respect for one another, the use of appropriate language, and pro-active social skills.

Remember, that discretion should be used when discussing the needs of the student with disabilities with others. A conversation with the student prior to any of the above strategies can determine how comfortable the student is with sharing information about his or her disabilities. The sharing of information is not meant to put the student with disabilities “on show”, but help others understand what the student needs in order to participate and learn in… >>>

This is a great way to assess true understanding and ability.

I will apply the new knowledge creating short lectures and adding activities during class. 

I time-to -time prepare a illustrated study guide for my student to foucus on the testing content

I like the mini lessons and will definitely try this teaching strategy. Maybe incorporate it with activities in between.

I AM GOING TO INCORPORATTE MORE OPEN END QUESTIONS, AND WATCH MY WAIT TIMES.

This is the most successful strategy to keep the students engaged & interactive

Every student has something of value to contribute to the class's learning journey. Taking time to know each student, their experiences and insights, pays off for the growth of everyone in the class.

Very good information for helping all types of students.

 Net generation students are the majority of our students in clinical site. In clinical site, we can use  active learning and technology in performing skills. For example, Computerized charting vs. traditional charting, medication dispense  through usage of pyxis vs. traditional medication cart,  barcoding and electronic medication charting. Medication review through approved drug websites and using internet to review specific skills.  Teaching student how  to use technology to decrease medication errors.

action plan 

Inverted Classroom: Students are assigned the “homework” of watching video lectures and reading any materials relevant to the next day’s class. During class time, students practice what they’ve learned through traditional schoolwork, with their teachers freed up for additional one-on-one time.

I appreciate the tools given in this course and will implemnt some of the now inmy traditional calass.

• Work on clear communication skills, Road map, and pacing. Self-Video tape
• Use memorable examples
• Focus on nonverbal communication
• Know my studens: Ability, Previous Experience, Motivation
• Identidy learning Disabilities that interfiere with academic progress. Languague development, Vocabulary, Listening/Comprehension.
• Monitor Progress 

This class has refreshed me and i will implement some of the recommendations especially for those with learning disability.
