Excited About the New Quarter

This is my second year as an instructor and I have learned quite a few strategies from ED101 course. I am excited about the upcoming classes I will be teaching and I will definitely be incorporating some of the strategies that I learned. For example, I will start off each class by writing my name and the class on the board. This was something that I did sometimes, but I did not realize how much it settles students' nerves to know that they are in the right class on the first day. Another strategy that I will be incorporating is using a group activity on the first day to get students better acquainted with one another.

I just finished ED206 and it reinstituted (re-enforced) lab safety and training on what the student should get out of it. How I should evaluate and keep track of them and their records with the new training program.  Before each lab day I start off reminding them about safety and any new rules that I want them to know.  I also re-enforce what they should be paying attention to or what they should out of it and making sure that everybody perticipates (not getting left out).

In ED206 I found great information on safety that is vital to the administration of the entire school. Following reasonable quidelines and documentiing your efforts in this area can be your best defense in the worst case scenario. Protecting the student and faculty must be a primary concern when utilizing competency based educational labs of all types. Our school has a campus wide safety committee that watchdogs all areas that have any potential for safety issues a well as universal guidelines.

i picked up some methods that i can use in the Lab. I am going to give the students a list of the required competencies for the entire Module on the first day. The students will know what is expected from them in the lab

 intend to add a written exam with essay questions to assess factual knowledge and problem solving

I am going to reiterate to the students that the laboratory is where they can take an abstract concept learnt in the classroom and apply it in the ultrasound lab. They can also verify that what the anatomy book says can be identified when they are scanning each other
