This lesson provided a great deal of information that is useful for any student population. It was useful to note that IEP is no longer valid after as student graduates for high school. Colleges are however required to provide accommodations. These accommodations can prove useful for those students who have learning disabilities but desire to attend college.

Effective instructional delivery and assessment require careful planning, flexibility, and a student-centered approach. While challenges like time constraints and technology access exist, they can often be mitigated through thoughtful strategies and a focus on continuous improvement. The key is to remain adaptable and reflective on your practice, ensuring that both instruction and assessments are designed to best meet the diverse needs of your students.

I learned that planning my questions for the lesson can help me to assess what the students learned also learned when to ask certain questions during the lecture and the importance of good test questions.

Completing this course has been a transformative experience in my journey as an educator. I’ve learned the importance of creating inclusive, student-centered learning environments that foster engagement and critical thinking. A key best practice I’ve embraced is integrating active learning strategies, such as collaborative group work and formative assessments, to empower students and address diverse learning needs.

After completing these courses, I have made several notes about things that I intend on using going forward in the classroom! The challenge is planning them into my lesson plan, and see the actual outcome of these practices.

Best Practices. Active Learning: Incorporate hands-on activities, group discussions, and problem-solving tasks to engage learners and apply theoretical concepts.
Relevance to Real Life: Connect learning materials to real-world scenarios and practical applications to enhance motivation and retention.
Flexible Learning Environments: Offer various learning formats (e.g., online, in-person, hybrid) to accommodate different learning styles and preferences.
Feedback and Reflection: Provide regular feedback and encourage reflection on experiences to help learners assess their progress and adjust their learning strategies.
Action Plans
Needs Assessment: Conduct surveys or interviews to identify the specific needs and interests of adult learners in your program.
Curriculum Design: Develop… >>>

I will send an introduction video before the 1st day of class.

I will start lectures with an example of why what we are about to learn is needed.

I will immediately make notes about the lectures as to how I can improve or doo something different to keep the students engaged.

I will start my professional development plan.

I have been using students to do Demo's for a few years now and it has been very successful, during the lecture I cover all SOP's, safety concerns and steps.

I always ask for a volunteer, and usually have a student happy to lead the demo, I find it gives me the opportunity to cover the key points while guiding the demo. and gives the students confidence seeing a peer doing it for the first time.

The use of gamification is a very good addition to course material for improved learning opportunities.

I enjoy assigning case studies or modules to groups of students and having each group present "their" topic to the class

I find it all too often that instructors, whether it is through ego or fear, have constricted themselves into one, hierarchical, method for instruction. This course seeks to resolve that. It corrects some of our bad habits that we may not even notice by introducing the concept of the facilitator. As instructors, we must find a healthy balance. Far too often, I enter into a classroom where students are disengaged from the lesson because of that lesson's static nature. Facilitators create a dynamic environment involving multiple forms of assessment and as soon as that environment is molded into the classroom,… >>>

It's essential to have a lesson plan when teaching a class of adults.  The adult learner has a shorter attention span.  I would want to keep the adults engaged.  Give them knowledge that they can build on since they may be loaded with previous knowledge.  Building on that knowledge gives them the ability to increase what is known. and be more successful in applying newly learned material.

Making the recap of the days information necessary but exciting will enhance memorization.  

In today's educational landscape, understanding how to effectively design and facilitate online courses is crucial. Emphasizing a variety of assessment methods, as opposed to relying solely on traditional tests and quizzes, allows for a more holistic evaluation of student learning in virtual settings. This approach not only accommodates diverse learning styles but also promotes deeper engagement and critical thinking among students. By utilizing interactive and collaborative assessments, instructors can better gauge comprehension and application of knowledge, fostering a more dynamic and enriching online learning experience. Such flexibility and innovation are essential in preparing educators to navigate and optimize digital learning… >>>

n my journey through the ED143 course I have been able to learn the most relevant aspects to become a facilitator of knowledge and an effective guide for students to develop their own capabilities based on their real needs.

Uno de los desafíos actuales son los conflictos generados en los ambientes de aprendizaje virtuales, esto debido a lo que este aprendizaje le genera a algunos que les resulta difícil adaptarse a estos estornos. Las técnicas abordadas en este curso son muy útiles, ya que permiten brindar ayuda oportuna a los estudiantes en estas situaciones.

great way to Incorporate new teaching methodology

This course reviews how to communicate with students on the first day of class. 

The course assisted the current applications used in the classroom setting to improve participation
