Training into Performance

I believe that training and updating your knowledge to how things are currently is important, but if you're not interested in the subject material or "have to do trainings" because it's part of a requirement, then that knowledge is gone as soon as the test is passed.  The main point about the discussions so far are about keeping students accountable, flipping the classroom and holding them accountable for knowledge they retain, and this has its benefits.  The hardest thing for anyone to do is make someone have an interest in something that does not interest them.  I've learned through experiences… >>>

ED101

Will provide learning activities w/ each Unit

Will make a checklist to be used before presentation and one to be used during to make sure I have covered all my points

Encouage students to complete reading assignments before class because they will create more "AHAHS" in class.

Will utilize a combination of lecture and learning styles.

 

Active Learning Activities

I feel what the course preented to me was that learning needs to be more active for our students and I need to implement more into my courses that I am responsible to pass on to my students in the best way.  Active learning is something I intend to do more of and less lecture.  Many of my courses involve not just passing on facts and information but getting them into the practice of thinking outside the box and thinking things through.

reflections on flipped classroom

I have already applied some of what I learned in this course to one class that I teach, to mixed results/success. I have learned a few more things in this course that should help me improve on what I have already implemented and broaden the concepts of flipped classroom to more of the classes I teach.

Student values to education

I have found that the students with depression or a learning disability or even not very good with the language to be the most rewarding. Seems they value to be a part of society that is productive. They typically do show the signs of frustration without any type of outburst from them. It becomes very recognizable early in every course if you have that type of student. I can proudly say at this time I have never given up on any student in my class, but unfortunately the maturity is not there for them or they do not follow with… >>>

Accelerated learning

ED 107 was an interesting course.  I am trying to introduce more learning activities into my classes and this course had some great suggestions. So many things to consider when designing course content in relationship to learning styles! Change definitely requires careful planning. Baby steps!

Kathleen Fox RDH,BS

This was an exceptionally well paced course. I felt it was mostly review for myself, but overall very helpful.

ED107

This was very helpful, I started using music during my classes and rearranging the sits.  It seems to motivate or at least get their attention.

Action Plan

From this course, I was able to see how asking certain types of questions can hinder or enhance the class room.  I am going to put into practice asking more of the types of questions that would allow the students to expand what they know .

Understanding that every student learns in a diferent way, will make me a bettr instructor

MY PREFORMANCE PLAN

In order to become a better L.P.N. instructor  I have the following goals for my preformance plan for the 2015 MCI school year. I will make it a habbit to show up to class 15 minutes early. I will make it my practive to introduce my self each mod as I have been doing and I will have my students introduce themselves to me. I will research M.S.N programs and will start on my M.S.N before October.

Active learning in the career college

As a former middle school teacher, I have used active learning strategies extensively in the past and have modified many of them for use in my current position teaching adult learners.  I have sometimes wondered if some of the activities and strantegies might be too juvenile for the adults I teach, but in genreal I have discovered that my students enjoy, appreciate, and learn from an active learning format.  Thank you for the many suggestions!

 

Active Learning in Class

Active learning has been an interest since I began teaching.  I am considering using the methods in my class by having the patients take a "patient" and describe the methods by which they would ventilate and mangae their care.  By doing this they would need to use the covered material and also the practical skill they have learned

Action Plan

We have a new term starting next week.  I am already an early arriver, seating chart creator, and Syllabus explainer, but I am looking forward to implementing the following checklists and methods to my next classes:

  • First Day Checklist
  • Icebreaker
  • Personalized Introductions
  • Mini Lectures
  • More Integrated lessons using more Problem-solving and Case Study type interaction
  • Being more timely in managing troubled students
  • Being more timely in giving student feedback on assignments
  • Pre execute more lab assignments to find the pitfalls in advance

Excellent training

There is a lot taken from this training, I will definitely applly this in my classroom, the way to prepare for my class, and how to deal with my students in a more professional way, and this training opened my eyes to a lot of small details I wasn't paying attention to, I blieve conducting this training will add a lot to my expertise.

ED-114

This module has really made sense of how I tend to explain things and how I can ascertain the comprehension level of each student. It's like a road map of how to properly lay out a lesson plan.

Assessment

Writing proper questions and assessing knowledge learned as opposed to what hasnt been learned

instructional delivery and assessment,

I  have found many items listed in this first class to be helpful in my everyday teching. I did not know the attention of a student to only be around 15-18 minutes. and to keep learing sessions to shorter lengths of time.

i will take that with me, and also practice your hands on demonstrations before class is a must. that way if you run in to issues before the actual demonstration you will be better prepared and you will look more professional.

ED101: Not At All Like a Root Canal

Unless you have a formal education in the field of education, many career college instructors struggle with the basics of teaching. We learn from doing, and we learn from others who have done, and sometimes we get it right. Other times we get it very wrong, and this becomes painfully obvious as we tap-dance in front of our students, covered in bomb-sweat, desparately hoping for the bell to ring to save us.

Two things ED101 provides: ideas and validation. If you have a lesson or even an entire class to develop, Effective Teaching Strategies will provide you with the tools… >>>

Beginning of Class

I have learned to walk around the room and look at it from the students perspective and to chit chat with them before class to get a general idea of their mood.
