It is important to allow people to interact so that they can allow for their point of view in a discussion.

Should go hand and hand in that the creative teacher is usually more effective

It is important know your student as well as the subject matter

I want to sue triage case studies to show why anatomy and physiology is so important to learn. Does anyone know of any Internet sites where I can find these? I would appreciate the help. Thanks!

I find this on-line course very informative and relevant to the current trends in American Education. I have always adopted a "Socratic" style of teaching, but I modify my platform depending on the school environment and class content. This has allowed me flexible, student satisfaction and the ability to utilize technology in my instruction.

It is important to remember that the way you teach is always in the students best interest as to the way they learn.

I find that almost each module there is one to four students that I get in my classes that are extremely difficult to motivate. I have had some students tell me that they were in school because they had be since they could not find a job. These students pick health care because there are more available jobs in this field. I strongly get the impression from some students that they are just there to take up space. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get these students motivated?

When I have a new class, I immediately work on learning all of the student names. I will sometimes make a chart of where they sit to refer to if the class is especially big. The other thing I do is try to associate something with their name. The quicker you learn their name, the better. It shows that you truly care about them and they respond better in kind.

Well being a professional and having monthly periodicals coming to me would it be good to present those to my class when I would be the only one able to get that info, would it be giving them more info than the others in the school are getting. I fear doing that since I get very specific information to myself that few people are able to get that it would be inappropriate to do so.

As an instructor I am always interacting with my students on an individual basis. This helps me understand their learning style and find better ways to ensure that the class content is delivered in many different supportive ways.

TODAY IN TIME WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE STUDENT WITH LEARNING DISABLITIES. OUR JOB IS TO WORK AROUND THEM

U WILL ALWAYS HAVE A UNEQUAL LEVEL OF LEARNER IN EACH CLASS

STUDENT HELPING OTHER STUDENT IS A VALUABLE TOOL

BEING ABLE TO COMMUNICATE IS THE INSTRUCTOR KEY TO SUCCESS IN THE CLASSROOM

Instructors must use a dynamic approach to getting the imformation accros to the student. It is imparative to keep them interested and focused.

When meeting a class for the first time, you must have all the necessary information ready for the students to make them feel comfortable in a learning enviorment.

The largest complaint I have received as a DOE is that the teacher are not organized. With proper planning and prepartion, this would nearly eliminate all complaints.

I believe that all instructors should use and interactive method of teaching so that the they can learn from the students as well

I like to give my students the opportunity to learn from their mistakes. I no longer hand out homework assignments until the end of class because I am frustrated with the students that have been brainwashed into thinking that effective "learning" and successfully completing a "homework" assignment, both produce the same results. In my opinion, homework is often a mindless "task" that students try to accomplish before the real learning takes place. I am trying to strike a balance between inspiring students to learn and assigning the appropriate amount of homework to validate a students success.

How much time should be spent assessing students? I am currently teaching 5 week term and am giving daily quizzes. I would like to give a weekly assessment that is more representative of a major exam. My concern, is that too much time would pass by the time a problem would be identified. What are your thoughts?
