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.

Proximity

With accelerated learners it's important to move around and even join groups for short periods of time. This helps redirect and raises the comfort level of the less confident student. I enjoy hearing and participating in student discussion on an equal level.

Professionalism

I enjoyed this 1st session "developing as an Instructor" and the section on professionalism. It is especially true upon entering a classroom with proper attire and subject matter knowledge. The student certainly observe this and pay close attention to this as well. They also make comments about your professionalism and subject matter as well to other students. Excellent area of interest and I will continue.

Still Learning

I often tell my students something that was told to me many years ago. "The Best Way To Learn Is To Teach". I tell them that learning is a life long experience and I am always open about something I am unsure of. I will tell a student with a puzzling question, that I am not certain of the answer and I will get back to them asap. Most embrace this. But, be sure and get back to them in a timely fashion.

Teaching with language barriers

In the past taught in another state, and had students from africa, phillipines, china, korea, they needed a dictionary and instructions just to complete care plans and tests. It was difficult for them and they required some extra time to complete some tasks and then also to communicate with patients and staff. Julie

Moving Around

I enjoy moving around so that each student has eye contact from time to time. I feel I can see each student and be more sensitive to needs or questions or concerns they may be afraid to ask. It is working so far I am teaching 9th class with same material. Julie

Delivering course content.

I enjoy trying different delivery styles to motivate and encourage class participation. Because you need to connect with all of the students based on their individual learning styles.

Meeting the class for the first time.

As an instructor I find it both exciting and challenging to begin a new semester.

Planning and Preparation

Finding new ways to plan classroom activities and preparing a effective outline helps to stimulate our professional growth.

Developing as an Instructor

Very informative-we can always use additional suggestions and examples to improve our instructional abilities.

keeping students engaged

When we teach exciting tasks or lessons, it is easy to keep students interested. As the excitement wears off, keeping the student engaged is a challenge. We can keep the interest by keeping less interesting lessond intertwined with the exciting ones.

Writing Curriclum and Lesson Plans

Teaching in a Culinary school, many Chef instructors have different beliefs on what should be taught within a certain course. Do you feel that a certain person or team of instructors (curriculum committee) should write the course outline/lesson plans or should each individual Chef Instructor be allowed to view his or her own contributions and write the course outline/lesson plans?
