Patience and student support are the keys to produce a successful student who may have a language barrier.

This is very effective in motivating the student who may need additional support.

I would sometimes like to get to know the class first, and If I see that one student is willing to help another student that is struggeling, maybe ask that student if she would mind sitting next to the other one and help her if she is able, and if there is still questions the student can come to me.

When starting a new class. I take a few minutes to go around the class to have all students to say their name, where there from and what other schools they have been to

I would like to ask the students that may have a disabalitie to sit in the front of the class as not to be distracted easilly.

I like to give a topic to the clas, and listen to different discussions, and then give my feed back.

An instructor should always be well prepared for the subject being taught. This includes having a lesson plan (and following it), being familiar with the material, and above all teach in a manner that will interest the student. Instructors should not: just read out of the textbook, constantly sit behind a desk, say the words 'shut up' or not answer a questions from a student. Instructors should walk around the class while lecturing, ask questions during the lecture, use visal aids like power points as much as possible, get the students involved in group activities (which help develop critical thinking skills).

I have been in education for 10 years and I have learned that the first day of class is the most important. Instructors should set guidelines, rules and regulations, objectives and of course do a meet and greet. I always start by introducing myself and giving my background experience and certifications. Then I will ask each student to stand and give their name, and why they chose to enroll in Medical Assistant school. I hand out my class rules and regulations, along with the syllabus, and we go over each one. First impressions are lasting. If an instructor starts a class off on the wrong foot (i.e., being late for class, being impolite, not having the course syllabus, etc.) this will cause the student to be unmotivated to do well in the class. Throughout the class, if any student is struggling, instructors should always offer tutoring and encouragement to the student. After all, the students are why we are here!

I always introduce myself to a new class, and write my name on the board. I also give a little bit of my professional background. I also let the students know that I am here for any queastion and they can ask me questions at any time. Is there such a thing as not giving enough of a professional backgound?

Using the 3 M's model will help me to stay on task with my class. I also like to keep my class interested in the subject, by asking them questions, and interacting with them. Even getting them up and doing a small stretching exercise wakes them up to stay focused on the task at hand.

Have a group of students who tend to be rude to the new kids on the block. Makes the class setting very cold for the students involved. How do you handle having rude,unfriendly and unwelcoming students in class. I am new at this and do not want to show partiality amongs the students.

I use this tool quite often when I sense that the students in my classroom have encountered similar problems and can identify with the content and each other.

In teaching a composition course I have stressed how writing skills will be needed throughout the students' life experience, i.e., resumes,proposals, etc.

so with all this knowledge how do we initialy assess the students learning styles. Second, how do we help them to better develope the styles they are not good at but will need in the work place.

I am a new instructor and would like to know how to get a student motivated to participate in class?

this was great!

It’s such a sensitive subject in dealing with students with learning disabilities. Dyslexia is a language-based disability that presents challenges for students in the area of understanding written words. Clearly it takes patience in dealing or helping such students. First both parties have to share methods and strategies that would help them in exploring how these same methods can be successful in their classes. Fortunately, students who have challenges to learning can do well in your courses if you provide them with the needed instructional supports.I’m glad that there are such methods and accommodations that in dealing with these issues from the how I should presentation, response, timing, setting the environment, to preparing materials for these students. This is great! I’m great I have chosen this topic as part of my development. However, I should first determine what the reading issues are that the student is having so I can plan strategies or make modifications as needed in helping the students. K. Boodparset

There is no doubt that we know that we are all wired differently. This is why we’re all choosing different career path or life direction differently. However, no matter what career we individually chose, we’re all need motivation to achieve our goals. As an instructor, motivation is certainly a very powerful force that can help people to achieve unbelievable things for both students and teachers. Motivation is a powerful force that you need to capitalize on Personally, having to hear someone else’s personal experience through the course of their success plays a big role in motivation process. I am certain that previous experience plays a big role in the potential for success in any classes. Experiences can be both positive and negative for the learner. Previous experience gives students idea about their accomplishment, goals that they’re trying to reach and level of discipline that they have to input to be succeed. K. Boodparset

Apart from Maintaining good eye contact with the students, there is no doubt that student monitoring helps me to be aware of any emerging issues or problems that will need your attention. Through monitoring, I will be focusing attention on my students, and at the same time it’s a key component in developing rapport with them. By paying close attention to my students will also enable me to recognize emerging problems. In return, this also gives sense of comfort between me and my students as well. This way, they feel that you’re not only their teacher, their coach, their mentor and someone who they can depend upon on their questions or task. More importantly, Student monitoring enables me to observe the individual needs of my students from a total-class perspective. It creates a positive learning setting within the classroom and removes learning barriers. K. Boodparset

This discussion topic is certainly interesting. Classroom movement is essential when teaching. When teaching, I was put myself in student’s shoes or perhaps the time when I was a student. I notice that the more teacher walks around the class when he/she explains or lectures, it keep me engaging. From teacher’s perspective, classroom’s movements give sense of a comfort zone when teaching. This is where you’re not only lecturing but at the same time, getting to know your students, having eye contact and interact with your students. In addition, by walking around, you get a sense of idea of the how your voice travels across the room from the front of the class. This is, I guess, how you determine if students from different corner can hear you or not. K. Boodparset
