Setting expectations and goals for each class helps to reduce stress and anxiety for the students. 

I believe it is an excellent learning experience where we learn more every day it is very important to understand that each student is different, and we must focus on their individual need to achieve the ultimate goal. I will recommend it to all my colleagues . 

I'm teaching courses aimed at helping students get the fundamentals need for earning the Comptia A+ and Network certifications. A year ago I started a computer lab to give them hands-on experience building, troubleshooting, installing an OS, setting up networks, etc. I did this on the cheap, buying 20 year old computers off facebook and getting several donated for free, then buying some toolkits for working on them. Can't go wrong with cheap computers and if something gets broken, which happens, it is no big deal. Buy some parts off ebay and you have work for the next class fixing… >>>

I learned so many things in this course, but it seemed that the main point was the expertise, excitement, confidence, and the enthusiasm of the instructor. I was reminded of team sports, where the coach is more than just a technician. All of the best game plans and practice are moot if the team is not motivated. The instructor like the coach is motivational to the students, their success is his success. My main plan of action is to be approachable, build rapport, and provide relevancy of the materials to the students. 

I feel there was a lot of helpful information in the study. I will apply this information into my studies.

Great course would recommend to my coworkers

We were all ROOKIES at some point in our CAREERS, for me it was totally different back in the day, we have OSHA now, so we have to be a lot more careful, how we proceed with our professionalism.

I think it's important to remember that each student is an individual with different learning styles just as instructors have different teaching styles.

Key steps

 Early intervention is key, student engagements, personnel support, faculty-students interaction, collaboration and partnerships, continuous assessment and improvement are some of the main factors.

By applying these lessons learned and the next steps, one can make a meaningful impact on students' retention and success at my school or institution.

Actively engage students in the learning process. This can be done through games, activities, and discussions that encourage students to participate and contribute. Provide regular, personalized feedback. Feedback is most effective when it addresses the specific needs of each student. This can be achieved through individual meetings, written comments, or verbal feedback in class. Create a supportive learning environment. Students are more likely to succeed when they feel comfortable and respected. This can be accomplished by building rapport with students, using positive reinforcement, and addressing their concerns promptly.

Building a rapport with students is vital to student engagement in the classroom. 

Communication with students about their needs or potential barriers to learning is incredibly important. I thought it was incredibly insightful to think of the learning environment from the perspective of a student.

The course is very practical and hits older students as well as younger ones. This creates a real life environment that is consistent with what they will be facing on the job and gets students aware on how to face this challenge. having this well rounded perspective is important to your work environment and in the class. I've worked on jobs where employers tried intimidation to get faster job progress and it taught me that , intimidation will never build only tear down moral, which is key to job productivity and as well as best classroom performance and that working… >>>

Motivation is the key factor when it comes to succeeding

Love your students treat them like your own children. Explain them things as you are explaining to kid

Having empathy and care for each student goes a long way. Get to know one thing about them and give constant otimistic feedback. You never know how far that can go. 

teachers should always have amn open mind to learn

Completed the ED102 and the information was very straight forward. Understanding the students and tailoring our teaching methods are a must. besides building a curriculum or preparing the lesson plans, we must pay attention into all individuals and check how our materials are being learned. it is our duty to make sure the material is for everyone.

ED 102  Taught me a lot about the human factor being caring and understanding of the needs of the students.
