I mostly enjoy the class participation. Student seem to voice out their opinion, answers and contribute to discussions. Class participation also gives me identify the students strength and weakness.

instructional support with instructional disabilities

Because of the fact that most the students who have learning disabilities often can become successful if given the proper resources that address their needs. In our shool, obtaining official documentation of what learning disability a student might have will help educators to address accordingly the needs of a student early enough and provide them the right support they need to establish a good start,and maintain student engagement as one goes through the program..

Learners have various learning styles specially with diverse population of students. Considering this fact, using life experiences can enhance memory retention and better understanding of the concept beign discussed for the reason that instructors are using a combination of abstarct and visual approach of reinforcing knowledge. Using life experiences also deliver significant impact specially to adult learners since most of them correlate the importance of what they are doing to what they want to achieve.

Instructional Delivery

I have learned that my delivery style varies, depending on the subject matter I am teaching. There are certain subjects where a long lecture is not the best method, and hands on is the best approach to learning and retaining information.

First Impression

On the first day of class, I always have the syllabus available for students and go over it with the class. I also give some background about myself and my experiences in the field. I then ask each student to introduce themselves and tell the class why they chose this program, what they expect from the class, as well as what their expectations are once they are done with school and ready to enter the workforce.

Course Planning

When planning my course, I try to think of ways to engage the students, and not just lecture, I want them to have an interest so that they retain the information.

Re:

When introducing myself it usually takes me two to three class sessions to remember student names but I usally make little notes on post-its to help me remember their names.

My experience

In my experience I have found that being prepared before class makes the class session smoother for myself as well as my students. Reading all necessary materials helps you to be more confident when it comes to answering questions that students needs answers too.

Am I a scholar, a writer, an entertainer, a comedian or instructor??

I liked this phrase in the text! it pretty tiring task to gain the attention of your students for 2 hour lecture, I hope that one of my students would answer this question in behalf of me!! I believe that I should be all of the above at the same time, especially when it come to the entertainer part! I through jokes that are relevant to the class talk about movies that are relevant to the subject, and then return to main subject, I think this alteration between being serious and being funny would give the student a mind break

Motivation

Being authentic is critical in your motivation towards students. If they perceive you not being authentic then you are going to have a difficult time with getting you message across.

First Impressions

Dressing professionally, being on time, living that modeled life you put before the students will set the tone for the classroom setting. If you expect all students to be on time, be professional, dress professional then you must take your own advice and do the same.
