I encounter some situations where a student answers a question and it has no connection to the topic or the response is totally wrong. There are times in my Myology class that is tough to help them recover from that as the rest of the class knows its incorrect. So is probing question the best..such as mike I like you review page 34 in text and see if that review provides the information to support that answer. or Mike I think you are confusing that with..... check on page 34 before i ask you to revisit this question? Or Redirect by Mike has given us the answer for _________ but I am still looking for _______________

I always aim to deliver the course content in a plethora of ways. I try to appeal to as many learning styles as possible.

The first meeting sets the tone for the rest of the course. I always try to include a little bit of humor to get the students to relax and see that I am human too.

I always strive to create an air of comfort and relaxed discussion about course content in my classroom. I find that presenting the material in a more relaxed, discussionary manner yields greater student results.

I believe in continually developing as an instructor, because our fields are constantly changing. We must stay current with the times.

I try to teach in a variation of learning styles. I know that not every student learns in the same way. I learn best in a couple of different styles, auditory, and kinetic. I think that by listening to lecture and participating in class discussion can allow for greater memory retention. I also think that hands on learning allows the students to become excited about what they will be doing in their chosen field, and thus makes them want to learn.

I always enjoyed the first day of classes. It lets the students know who you are, and also give you an insight on who they are, what concerns they have and it also allows them to make new friends of their classmates. I also like that when going over the course requirements it allows the students to ask any questions that concern them about the course.

I have seen in the classroom what I have seen in the workplace. The person or persons trying to focus on one thing and not willing to move on to the next thing before the other is completed. How do I handle this situation. I need to move on but do not want to come across as not understanding there frustrations.

I am a new instructor but have worked for the company for 3.5 years as an assistant. It is very different to be in charge of the class and know all of the material. I am still getting my footing on becoming a well versed instructor. I have assisted other instructors and have seen many different teaching styles. I try to incorporate what I have seen from them and also the best way that I learn new material so that I can provide the best atmosphere for my students. I am finding this material very helpful. Thank you!

i'm a new teacher ,going to have my 1st teaching job ,can any one tell me what should be done on the 1st day of class and what to expect

I have been a trade school instuctor for a little over a year. I have trouble with the large classes when it comes time for practical learning. I only have three machines in my classroom and during lab I need to be there with them. I only allow groups of three max. Reason being that more students leads to standing around learning nothing. My qestion is... How can I keep the other students busy while I'm busy?

I feel like some classes are best done as a lecture. However, I do love engaging students with discussions and relating upcoming concepts to something they can relate to on a daily basis.

Having belief in them gives the student belief in self.

Classroom should be decorated according to the lessons that is being taught. All classroom should be standarized with equipment for all instructors

Use text book materials and real life situations

I had always considered the amount of influence an instructor can have on how a class can learn and facilitate learning. However, I never quite thought about how their own personal beliefs or thoughts can become a barrier. I can't imagine an instructor not caring at all if their students but I can see how an inexperienced instructor can be timid or not so confident in trying new approaches of facilitating learning. I was there once, I can admit, but am glad that I have been able to develop as an instructor to better service our students.

I plays a very important role in my healthcare field. If a student cannot master a competency then they have to really focus on mastering these skills. People lives are in the balance.

I have students work each control, Then they help the next person, then they watch the next person help the next person up in case he makes a mistake Ect. That also breaks down barriers in attitude because it gives them a value, And ofcourse Psycomotor is adressed because their manipulating the control. I can asses them accordingly.

As an instructor for special fx makeup i mainly use the competency based method, i am able to assess students competency by visual assessment of the makeup applications they have been trained to apply and the assesment of the students knowledge of the materials used. Before application each student is given hand-outs that include materials used, application instruction and illustrations followed by a live demonstration of the makeup application. Each student then practices the technique on models. A 10 question written test is then given to help reinforce the techniques and materials used. At the end of each week a practical makeup application test is given. At this point i am able to determine if the student has the competency required in the field or if they need to work on their technique and skill level to enter the feild of professional makeup artisty. Art may be viewed as a feild where beauty is in the eye of the beholder however an artist must have knowledge of materials used and the steps of application to acheive a comprehensive makeup acceptable to be "shot" or "camera ready".

The strategies that I have used is when I am doing hands on in the lab. I will lecture very little, demo. I then have the students help me do it again and direct me in my steps(walk me thru it). I also have them do each step with me as I am doing it. As I am doing this I give examples of different situations when this would be done and try to give the different terminology that is used for it.
