HELP

I feel like I am having a difficult time reaching the majority of my students. Do I feel they like me yes but that sad boring look on their face that I see when I look at them drives me crazy

asking questions

by asking questions you can gauge how well your students are understanding the material you are covering. if, all the questions are answered correctly you can either move in new material or make your questions a little harder or more detailed so you better challege them.

Lecture

I am not the type of instructor to lecture all the time. I see some instructors do that but I feel you lose interest in the students. You need to find ways into keeping them interested.

Lesson Plans

Some of the instructors I worked with don't do lesson plans. I didn't understand at first on why to do them because I never taught before. When I got my first class then I realized why lesson plans need to be done. Being prepared is very very important.

Dealing with Students who are opinionated

My first term I taught I had a student that had an opinion about everything I said. I didn't know how to deal with the situation at first but after awhile she backed off. I needed her to trust me I think and believe I knew what I was talking about.

How can you keep the class as a whole engaged ?

What is an easy way to engage all members of the class? How do you pull out the ones who don't engage and not shun the ones who always answer?

preparing and planning

I've always find that having my students read ahead for the topic of the day gets them prepared for discussion. I can zero in on particular students who have difficulty understanding the topic and that even helps me more in providing them the additional support they need. I simply concepts to their level of understanding until they get it so everyone of my students are on the same page.

I like these techniques, but I also employ a vague questioning techniq

What I mean by the vague questioning technique is that I will ask a student a simple question that I am expecting an elaborate answer for. When posing the question, I do inform the class that they may help, ad to, or even continue the original students answer. I have found that engaging the questions this way for this type of educational facility has helped with teamwork as well as good class comaradere.

questioning

In the classroom I have found the use of questioning Is a accurate gauge of comprehension.

First day of class

I can remember when attending college, an instructor brought pieces of construction paper and markers to the first night of class. He had all students write their first and last names and created tents to place on the top of desks to keep track of student names throughout the duration of class. He also had us students to continue to bring during each class. I thought this showed interest in the students.

Ebony Burrell

Arriving Early

I always arrive early before class to prepare myself for class. I am the same way with my full-time job. It just makes my day go smoothly when I prepare early.

This course gave me helpful insight on how to be a better instructor during my next class. Any helpful suggestions from seasoned instructors in the medical field?

Linda Gibson

Younger Instructor and Older Student

How do you deal with a student that doesnt respect you because of your age .You stay professional but she is off task and focus because she feel she is old enough to be my mother.

Formal greetings for an adults classroom

I've been recruited to teach an advanced marketing class for people wanting to improve their skill set for advancement. These are working adults from the surrounding community. I'm not sure requesting that the class address me as "Mr." is appropriate but I'm open to comments and suggestions.
