Inviting guest sepakers into the classroom definetly gets the students more excited about their carer field. It also gives them the opportunity to network and to gain valauble feedback from industry professionals.

Productivity is rewarding.

Always organize and prepare.

Excellent ideas in this course.

Pre-testing works.

Time management is the key.

A good syllabus can offer the tools needed to create a good evaluation system. My syllabus provides the expectancies of the course, outlines the weight given for each area in percentages. Since the student also have the syllabus outline they also know the weight applied to each area. The syllabus tells the students how the final grade will be determined and the grading scale.

Thorough planning, meeting the objectives and reaching the student is my priority. I need to know that my instuctional methods are making the lesson easier so the student stay focused. Feed back from students and letting them know that if they are having problems understanding something in the lesson, I am available to help them resolve the problem. This might mean a change in the way I presented the lesson. After I find out what will help that student, I then ask if anyone is having a problem with the topic and use the new strategy for them also.

This is the perfect time to see your student in there own world and know more about there indvidual personality. This makes placement for extern more easier since you have had the opportunity to see the student outside the classroom.

I feel that field trips not only add to the students learning, but gives them such a good opportunity to network.

Objectives on the board helps to guide each student throughout the class session.

Being fair and understanding with students goes along way. Students can have a great deal of stress over grades, so by providing them their graded exams quickly help to decrease this stress.

Course content and learning styles have to be mangaged for all of the students to get the most from the material. when the content is to difficult for some students it might have to be presented a little differently for them to really grasp it.

I went on my very first field trip with my students just last week. It was positive as it broke the monotony of the classroom setting and also brought back some passion. It almost reset them and refocused on the main reason they are in school.

I believe that organizational skills are not only the result of education and training, but an extension of the person we really are as well.

I am thinking that I should give extra credit more as a tool for work that is outside and additional to the required work and not because they did an exemplary job.

I think this helps those students who may have had a tough time with the reading portion of the class and tees up the material that I present.

always keep your grade book current, give test back the next day.

changing groups size activities will help keep focus, keep it fun.

you have to be prepared everyday from class, if not it sets an bad example for the entire class.
