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.

learning styles

Wow. this was a great one. Most teachers teach the way they learn. This does not always work out so good, because some students get left behind. Learning to teach to all four styles listed helped me focus on how to better convey the information.

Incorporating Learning styles

We are fortunate in our program in that it is easy to include all learning styles into each class. First we dicusss the material, then demostrate and provide a chance for students to practice and the homework covers the written part.

Tips for remembering names

We had our first class meeting last week. One of my classes has 12 students. I'm horrible at remembering names. I had them write their names and some details on cards, and I noted on the backs of the cards physical characteristis, yet I'm certain I will only remember a handful of my student's names when we meet on Monday. Any suggestions for gracefully asking on name reminders and tips for retaining this information better in the future?

Games when you have limited time?

I love to be able to play games in my classes, but it's difficult with the situation I have now. We have about a class and a half to go through each chapter, which limits the amount of time I have for doing activities. I try to incorporate videos sometimes, as I know the visual is very helpful and it allows the students to see real-world applications. Any tips on quick games or activities I could use? I teach psychology to adults. Thanks!
