Instructional Planning & Design

Public

Ask a question from your peers to help you in your professional work. Seek different points of view on a topic that interests you. Start a thought-provoking conversation about a hot, current topic. Encourage your peers to join you in the discussion, and feel free to facilitate the discussion. As a community of educators, all members of the Career Ed Lounge are empowered to act as a discussion facilitator to help us all learn from each other.

Guest Speaker

Wouldn't it help, or give perspective, to have a guest speaker with an opposing view than what students are normally tough?

Field Trips and Liability.

I remember college classes and even grade school classes having fieldtrips. It was exciting to see what we were learning about in person. I tended to remember those trips very clearly for a long time. Considering the amount of learning and retention associated with it I would love to organize fieldtrips at this institution, however, there is the concern of liability. How can we overcome this?

Michael Goff

prepared

I believe it is very important to be prepared for the day, because we are setting an exaple for the students to fallow.

types of evaluation

Exams should be qualitative. Try to aviod trick questions and play on words questions. This only discredits your intentions.

Improvise and adapt

I think you have to be ready to change with the class mood and style. Certain classes react different on Mondays then they do on Fridays. Be ready to change your lesson plan at a moments notice and adapt your style in order to react to the class condition.

Testing and Grading

Grading is done with the students being in charge of their own destiny while testing is the responsibility of the instructor to cover the course material in a manner the students can fully comprhend.
