Get Your Students Hired
Think of blogs as self-published mini articles. Share your experiences and challenges. Share your successful and failed strategies. Share your proven techniques and best practices. And don’t forget to solicit comments from your peers so we can all learn from the collective knowledge and expertise of our thriving community.
I teash math in a career college and I make use of lesson review in the following way:
- I write on the board the topics that will be covered that class
- I continue to refer back to prior topics and how the progression was accomplished to the current topic
- I review at the end of class the topics covered in the class. This is done in only a few sentences so that the student can see the "top-down" lesson that was learned.
I teach in a post secondary trade school. We get all types of students here. Ex military to students righ out of public school. Some of these students question authority, and have never been held responsible for any of their actions for any part of their lives. They can be quite a handful, but can also become a great student when given the support and proper encouragement. Discipline in the classroom can be an ongoing challenge especially when you have to deal with the "gang" mentality. Sometimes a sacrificial lamb is needed to correct unruly behaviour.
I seem to achieve success when I am able to teach diversly based on multiple types of learning styles.
Allowing adult learners to interact with each other in the classroom on a regular basis lets the instructor be less the classroom "authority" figurea and assume more of a support role. Adults want to be treated like adults. A friendly, non-threatening environment should be the mark in any classroom, regardless of age ! Chris R
Needs to update to cognitive science not old theories of learning.
