LESSON PLANNING AND TIME MANAGEMENT

My classes are 4 hours long. Keeping students interested is a real challenge because some students "get it" quickly and other not so easy. I can't move on until all understands so the ones that understand start getting bored . How do you plan for that?

video resources

There are so many possibilities of displaying video applications to the field of Anatomy & Physiology which is what I teach. It is almost impossible to teach what goes on metabolically through pictures, diagrams and text alone. Videos help convey these processies to students and are professionally produced. My students and I are very grateful to those who prvide this opportunity. Both Art and Technology merge.

Time Management

As a way to keep you on time, be flexible and ready to spend some time on the subject at the next meeting. Make sure there are worksheets to help the students self evaluate if you have extra time. Be prepared to show a video or animation that goes along with the class if you find that you have extra time.

It is critical to have students up to date on their progress. Returning graded exams within a day is highly appreciated by students and also a best practice.

Using pre-test

In adult education, it is critical that students are given some type of pre- assessment. Adult students come with background education and knowledge and instructors should acknowledge it as much possible in order to keep them engage.

Compromise

One of the more challenging concepts in the classroom for me is tailoring information that makes it easier for the students to grasp but does not compromise the integrity of the career field. When moving across different courses and concepts this can be difficult, especially when looking for a new way to provide the information and keep it relevant.
