I would not say that I am scared of people with disabilities; I am a Special Olympic coach! But, since I have worked in different areas in higher education for the last several years, I am afraid of doing the "wrong" thing with students who are using accommodations. I want to be in compliance at all costs and sometimes that means just having someone from Disability Services help them. Has anyone else had this experience or am I the only one? After this module, I feel a bit more empowered in working with students with disabilities. After all, they are students first and I can always work with a student. That's my job!

One of the concepts that was discussed in this module was addressing students with reading and writing deficiencies. It's often easy to spot these students, but sometimes even very basic writing instruction is not enough! Does anyone have any great tips on how to make connections to these students in ways that we can boost their learning and their writing level? I'd love to hear more information on how to do that!

In online education, student group projects can become cumbersome and lose a lot of value. Personally, I love collaboration and group work. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get more value out of student groups? In my main school, there is really no point value based on group work, so I need to have another way to make it important for participation. All ideas are welcome!

One thing I would like to find out more on how to do is creating memorable examples in English related classes. It’s not easy to always find a good relation to a complex grammar idea. If there is any more information out there on this topic, I’d like to find it! Any advice here?

I think True or false must to include in exam, as if students entirely know subject than only can give correct exam

I think if you can remain in back foot nobody in your class stumped you out.if they tried to do adapt defensive technique,that you learn by experience.

Other method of learning style is question/answer method and cause/effect method

I always plan ahead of time for class so that I am prepared. I like to know whenever possible what will be my next class in case I want to revise a subject or bring something new into a lecture. It seems I will have more problems with technical equipment then anything else...computers and printers seem to have a mind of their own sometimes.

How do you manage the assignment of groups when there is a student that no one wants in their group, due to laziness, lack of work ethics and lack of dependability?

Watch facial expressions on students

Leaders are born but leadership is earned

I often share with my classes that I struggled with reading comprehension for a LONG time until I confessed and sought help. It really helps my students, especially the older ones, to drop their guard and ask for help or confess an issue that they may have.

I really enjoy a diverse range of ages in a classroom. I feel like the older generations can bring real world experience and a sort of wisdom, while the younger crowd can bring energy and a new way to look at some things...

It seems as though every single adult education setting that I have been in, group projects are prevalent. Sometimes I just really want to work on my own and get it done. Does there really need to be THAT many group projects...

I enjoyed the theater all the way back since childhood. I was always a trainer at work. If you put the two together, you get a teacher. I try and bring entertainment to the classroom witrhout disguising the subject matter.

Having many years of both classroom and online instruction experience, I know that fostering an active learning environment online is much different, and often much more difficult, than in traditional classrooms. In online classes, I engage students by allowing them to co-teach at times: they prepare a few minutes of material and present to the class in a virtual meeting. I also ask them to peer-assess and self-assess their work before submitting to me for the final grade. These allow active learning even in an online environment.

try to keep the class in tune with the subject matter and keep it pleasurable,keep it in a manner that will keep them at ease. i feel this very important as far as retention. they will want to be involved.

recognizing stress, & frustration with students when working with certain types of learning styles, & try to alleviate that stress. Making certain that I use the entire instruction methods to deliver the course

In delivering lectures, its essential that the learner has enough lighting to enable him write I think the normal flourescent lighting is allright. As for videos, deeming the light permits the students to see better. Simply deeming the light makes the environment calmer for the students. Total darkness is an invitation for some students to sleep

i find that making the students comfortable with asking questions this will open the door for the studets that might be uncomfortable with speaking in public or afraid to ask the questions
