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.

Testing

Selecting the best types of testing with all the different learning styles in your classroom is very important to help determine how well your students are progressing.

Assessments

Using different types of assessing outcomes are necessary in most classrooms simply because of the different learning styles you encounter with each class.

Questions in classrooms

I think questions during class are as important for the instructor as they are for the student. They are a great form of communication as well as validation of the material being covered.It also is a reminder to be cognizant of the differing learning styles present in each classroom.

Learning styles

I think it is vital to identify each students learning style and be able to provide a classroom enviornment that is conducive to those styles, thereby promoting learning, self esteem and encouragement to achieve their goals.

LEARNING STYLES

Students learning styles varies, which means as an instructor, I must enhance my teaching that all students are gaining knowledge of the material. Versatility within a classroom is a must.

Introduction Icebreakers

I utilize students introducing themselves not only as a tool for me to get to know something about the student, but also as an icebreaker to help the student learn about each other and to take away anxiety a student may be experiencing.

Preparing Early and Carefully

When preparing for class, it is very essential that you perpare early and consider the lesson being taught for that day. Waiting until the last minute to prep for class is never a good idea as it creates difficulties in ensuring that pertinent information is covered. I do not put a time on "prepping" for class becuase I am more concerned with making sure that my students are learning the objectives for the course, than the time it takes to prep. Preparing early is always a great idea!

Teaching Styles

As an experienced instructor, it is evident that not all students perceive information the same. I choose to utilize various teaching styles depending on the course that I am teaching at that particular time. As a Business/Accounting instructor, I must ensure that the teaching style is conducive to the students gaining knowledge of the subject matter in which I am teaching.
