it is important to understand the difference between GED holders and high school graduates because it is possible to have a separate knowledge base.

Forunately I haven't had any student with learning disabilities like dyslexia but I know that I should be prepared in the future just in case I do. What is important now is the instructor's ability to recognize the presence of learning disabilities so he can adjust and do the proper management as a teacher. This training prepared me to handle this kind of situation in the future. Thanks a lot. Dr. Pastor

I have had instances in the past where a student is a very slow learner due to language problem who has difficulty in understanding english. I have to spend more time with her and patiently repeat words for her to catch up and give more lengthy explanation. In addition I actually assigned certain students who speaks english and her language to help her out and do group studies. She just graduated and is currently working. I must have given her the motivation to accomplish this; proof that proper motivation really works. Dr. Pastor

This method is really useful in the lab. After introducing a new ultrasound scanning protocol to the class I would divide them into groups according to their strengths and personalities to have a well-balanced grouping where the strong students are distributed to different groups where they could be the leader of the group. Also different personalities will have to be blended accordingly. Thank you for your very valuable inputs, it will help me a great deal. Dr. Pastor

Based on my experience I realized that movement and gesture inside the classroom is a big deal in teaching. YES, I agree that you can catch the students attention and interest longer in the lecture by doing so. More so they will have a better understanding of your topic of the day,especially the difficult ones because they are more interested and focused listening to you. Have a good tone or well modulated voice and add your smile and eye contact to the students; all of them are important for student engagement. Thanks, I learn a lot in this module. Dr. Pastor

I have found that by giving student several "mini" breaks it helps just be breaking the monotomy.

I try to put this idea above the fact that my students are here for an education too.

I can't make it without the lesson plan!

Nervous on instructors part as well as that of the students. The ice-breaker for me is after I introduce myself, it is the time for student's to introduce themselves to me AND other students.

Adult students learn from each other. A difficult concept introduced by the instructor may be better understood by one student if another student restates it. Group exercises are a plus in the learning experience and can be a lifesaver for the instructor.

We follow a chapters that are given to us by our managers. We teach students and then give them quizzes and test.

How many of these do we have to fill out. Who has time for all this? Twitting or always on the computer? I just want to be done with this. Does this satisfy anyones knowledge?

This is what is mostly about. Students young and old have the need to work at an off-site or in school mock house. They learn more with hands on...

Very important to the students

student often feel more comfortable asking questions when a entire discussion is taking place.

identifying learning styles of student can also assist in educational accomodation for impaired students.

Based on my experience, examples that illustrate practical applications of academic concepts in the real-world can significantly increase students' motivation level.

Is it acceptable to have the students conduct themselves professionally as if they were on a job?

How do you feel about adding outside resources not included with the syllabus?

What is the pest way to get class participation when it is obvious that they students are ill prepared?
