Instructional Delivery & Assessment

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.

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

Problem retaining the information

What if a student just does not know how retain information and blanks out on test? How do we help that student?

success

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

best way to learn

I learned that students love games and normally pass the exam with a high score when we play a game the day before the exam.

Developing as an Instructor

Developing as an instructor require the 3 m's modeling lead by example start class on time models assignments are due on time, managing relays to being prepared a good manager takes in account the the possible challenges and still prepared to lead class and teach students and movitating give students a out side speaker or a goal a carrot if you will to encourage completion.

Active Learning

Active learning should be incorporated along with an instructorâ€™s lecture. Active learning will engage the student in class activities such as discussions, group projects, and hands-on activities that will enhance the studentâ€™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.

Creating effective assessment

Sometimes I twists my questions. I make sure that the thought is still there.

Student learning assessment

What I like on this part is that after giving the quiz & the result is good, I know that I did the lecture very well. It's very rewarding to know that they are learning.

it is also important not to single out a student that needs assistance due to a learning disability.

groups

how do you deal with the same student always taking charge of their small group

First impression the first day of class

Your first impression should always be the best as well as continue trought out the course of teaching. It should always be proffesional in the way of speaking as well as the way of dress.

Intruct with more then whats given

It is alway a good idea for an instructor to use other sources of learnig material for students to research what ever is being taight in the course.

Molding the minds of your students

I belive it is very important for an instructor to have a prominent background in the field of which they are teaching in order to help mold the minds of there student in learning. Not only will you be teching them but you can also provide live experiences in the field to better provide an understanding of what is being taught.
