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.

Knowing the Learning Styles of Your Students

I believe that it is paramount to know the learning style of each student. This will give them the best experience to learn with their type of personality and therefore get the most from the course.

Course content & instructor experience

One of the quiz questions asked if course content should be selected based upon instructor experience and judgment. I understand that course content must meet the requirements of the curriculum but I also believe that instructor experience is beneficial with regard to adding material to the core/required content. If an instructor can add additional information or a lab project, approved by the department, which will enhance learning and provide clarity, it is the students who benefit.

Personal lives and students

I am intrested in learning a little more about balancing staying professional as well as caring about the personal lives of students. For example when a student approaches you about a troubled home life. What is a good way to be their friend as well as to listen and stay professional

Your Instructional Style

Hi Gary, How can an instructor improve their instructional style to really reach out to their students especially when the students are coming from different/diverse demographics. Some are slow-learner, some are fast-learner, others are focused on their goals while others are "just there" still trying to figure out what they really wanted in life.

Minni Lectures

I do believe minnie lectures are effective in keeping students focused on a particular content.

Joan Darienzo

Goals

I like to give my students goals, because they know what I expect of them right from the begining

Charles Harvey

Seems like...

When the course content is being presented it seems like I always get 1 or 2 "chatter-boxes" who want to blup out their ideas while i'm lecturing. How do I handle that; they are adult learners, and they should have some respect...right?

Instructors as Role Models

Role Models are very important because when you are in or out of class you never know who is look at you. And some students do not have a role model in there life, that they can follow, and you may be the person that they are looking up to as there role model.

Andrea Edwards

Instructors as role models

It is imperitave that instructors not only tell students how they should present themselves in order to be successful, but they should also role model it themselves. Often times we may suggest to a student that they might need to dress, speak or act a certain way, but we dont follow the same instructions ourselves which causes students to question why they should have to do it.
