keep it real

as an instructor the moment i walk in the classroom i start to set the tone for how the class is going to run i don;t beleive in a stress out class i like to have fun and teach at the same time and students pick up on that real fast the classes go very smooth and fast.

Every class is unique

It seems that every class is a little diffrent so often what worked with the previous class will not work with the current class because of diffrent learning styles, attention spans and intrest in the subject in general. How long does it take you to get a feel for wht works and what doesnt for a new class? It usually takes me about a week to get a good read on all of the students.

Attention Span

After doing this module I was surprised at what the actual adults attention span was!!!!!

Check and Balance

I am a firm believer in giving a pre and post test on the subject matter the very first day of the course. This accomplishes a couple things. One would be where the class is from a knowledgeable standpoint and where you are as an instructor, from a teaching standpoint. This helps give the class a clear objective on what type of material is going to be covered and what is expected from them.

when your instructor is handicapped in a motorized chair.

What techniques could be used for the handicapped individual in a chair to be able to get around the room during your presentations?

Classroom Trust

The moment an instructor walk inside the classroom the student knows whether an instructor could command respect or someone they can manipulate in the process. Proper conduct,house rules needs to be set and timely short humour at times helps in order for them to understand that instructors are humane and trust will serve as there foundation.

Attention span

I thought it was very interesting that the average attention span for an adult is only 15-18 minutes.

first day of class

I have found that the first day of a new class sets the "tone" The introduction of the instructer and students is a valuable tool in understanding my students needs as well as his or her goals.

Real world problems

I have found that when I give the class a work packet that has real world problems from actual shops with cars that had these problems the students can see that they will be forced to try and solve problems that may not be in a diagnostic manual. This teaches them to look at the symptoms, analyze the information that is presented to them and try to come up to a single conclusion to help diagnois the problem. The students really seem to enjoy this type of brainstorming in their groups and it really shows how well they are getting the covered material.
