All students must be given opportunity of an action plan to successfully pass their courses.

Engage students in their learning and fostering team in developing study habits.

When we transparecny, I think of honesty which in turn fosters trust. These three pilars allow us to protect our students' right to know and to learn.

If one acts in benefits and errors on behalf of the student, all else will eventually work its way out

Training was very informative, and provided the material we all need to remain compliant

Understanding the schools mission statements and culture are extremely important to the success of of the faculty and staff as much as it is for the students. I have learned to keep abreast of changes so I can represent them appropriately to the students in my class.

Creating action plan

This was my most challenging course yet! And I love a good challenge. There are so many details, intricacies and exceptions to FERPA, that this course is one that I will certainly come back to review my notes on a regular basis. It will also be a good idea to look for any new changes to FERPA policies on an annual basis. 

If you do not know something ask and not assume you know. Treat each student with respect.

Help each student and provide great customer service. If you stay in compliance you will be successful. 

Every institution must make clear to the future student of the rights they have  as students, and the the things that can be disclosed  or not disclosed regardless on who is asking information in regards to  student status grades etc.

I can't say it any plainer than we are in the age of information and technology.  Please stop acting as if everything you do online, in person, etc is a secret. Someone or something is always watching everywhere. 

My best advice for people who are starting out as a new parent(s).. Please, please know this; from zero to five years of age are the most critical years of a child's life when it comes to learning. Do not let your children become addicted to technology. Do not let the tablets and cell phones become your child's babysitter.  I have been… >>>

With students that have disabilities there can always be a happy outcome for all. Upon notification of the disability I will have the conversation with the student about their needs. Get a clear understanding of the learners challenges. I will then suggest that they consult them to the proper school officials that will confirm if the accommodations will be approved.

As the director of an ADN programs there are many challenges, and the students sometimes want instant results. There have been some adjustments made to the previous program and they were necessary to solidify our path to excellence.

When I taught in a foundation class, I noticed over a period of time m e that several that several students struggled to pass their exams. After careful consideration, I considered these students had learning disabilities. I understood this because of my background in mental health and learning disabilities. So I had the students to complete an activity that showed what type of learner she/he is. I then asked the question, what can I do to assist you with your learning. That's when the student disclosed that she received accommodations when she was in high school because she is dyslexic.… >>>

Taking the CM 251 training on Students with Disabilities: Legal Obligations and Opportunities has equipped me with a deeper understanding of the legal framework surrounding disability accommodations in educational settings. The most important take away has been how could I better address bias in my own teaching.

It addressed common misconceptions and stereotypes surrounding disabilities, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and addressing biases to create a more inclusive environment. 

Besides that I better understand the legal implications, opportunities to collaborate with other stakeholders, and creating creative and inclusive environment.

I love design thinking and using design thinking in creating lessons.

To make students understand how different parts of speech work in creating sentences. I color-coded the Subject and the Predicate.

It is similar to diagramming sentences, which is out of fashion now but which helped strengthen students' writing skills.

The acronym "WAIT" helped control inappropriate outbursts from a student who suffered from ADHD.

I made a huge poster with the acronym and under it the Q. Why Am I Talking? And a funny picture of a student talking excessively without thought.
