Motivating Student

One of the keys of motivation is to make achievable goals. Instructors who understand student motivation can greatly enhance the classroom experience and student performance.

Teaching/Learning Styles

Students will expand knowledge base, remember more information, and achieve more when teaching styles match learning styles. It is recognized that it is difficult to match with every learning style and therefore, a variety of teaching styles should be used by educators.

Learning Environment

Teaching and Learning meet in the teaching and learning environment. The Learner must be active. The learning environment should be designed to be as powerful as dedicated working environments. It must be rich and complex reflecting the essential properties of what has to be learned.

First Meeting

When you are a new teacher taking over someone else students, how do you go about change for the students whom do not want change. Each educator has a different instruction style. Would you prefer the incoming educator adapt to the outgoing educator style or simply have the students adapt?

Time Management

Being on time for class, planning classes to fit proper break times shows the students how serious and professional you are. They will adapt and develope the same professionalism. A student is only as good as the model that is representing.

Visual Learners

It is good to have visual examples, models, or power points because I have notice when people decided to go to school they are tapping into a field they no idea about. With that being said students need a visual to connect with

Determine the strengths of students

Adapting to all students to convey the common goal of you as a instuctor and students is important. Teaching is a like working a rubic cube turning information in every way possible for student to grasp at what is being taught in class.

Lecture techniques

We have the the benifits of 'pure' lecture so I normally start the class with this format to inform the studenst of all the necessary data that needs to be grasped, such as dates; times and places and then break into a more informal lecture/discussion format to involve the students

A successful class should not always be measured by grades it should be measured by skill. Everyone test differently.

Active Learning

Active learning should be incorporated along with an instructor’s lecture. Active learning will engage the student in class activities such as discussions, group projects, and hands-on activities that will enhance the student’s knowledge of a topic.

Positive reinforcement

Being in the culinary field, we thrive on positive reinforcement. It drives us and motivates us to do more and do better work. We want to hear the "aahs" and "oohs". So, when I talk to students about their work I always encourage them by telling them the good and how to improve on the not so good. They listen and want to improve.

How do you engage the quiet, shy, and low self esteem students ??

I work with adults so stickers and candy just would not work for me. So I ask the forum, how do you work with these type of adults ?

Qestioning as a teaching technique

After my lecture I asked questions right away to make sure they get the right information. There are times that some students don't get it so I have to do all over again & I don't mind.
