Learning Styles

Learning styles especially for our adult learners is very important. Alot of them don't know their learning styles due to being out of school for so long. So, we do a little test at the beginning of my course that outlines some pertinent information that assists them with knowing what type of learner they are. It assists with the success of the class.

Having technology to share with the student would be helpful. I find there is a need for more to work with.

Time management

I have learned the hard way to always have a back up plan in case lecture runs short. Kitchen days are a little trickier. If there is no product left it can be difficult to find something for them to work on.
