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.

eye contact with all not few

I always struggle keeping eye contact with all my students equally. My class usually has 50% that want to talk and communicate and the rest just want to be there without commenting at all about any subject. It is very easy to get carried away and converse with the enthusiastic ones. It is always a challenge for me to consciously make eye contact with all equally. I feel like a conscious effort regularly works more than just feeling bad later on.

Learning & Movement

I'm reading a book right now that addresses the importance of movement/exercise when it comes to learning. It appears that it is valid for both young and mature learners - in fact, movement and exercise is really good for the brain. Does anyone integrate movement into their curriculum to assist with learning?

Keeping the students awake

I have found that this can be tough sometimes to keep the students awake and listening to a lecture. I now use a coffee maker and make the discussions a little briefer to help keep them awake

I believe its not just students who have trouble taking tests.

If you find you have lost the students, you can stop and reteach immediately, rather than waiting unti you mark the test a day or more later.

we need expand the learning of our students by broadening their general thinking and to think outside of the box by asking Questions.

Reading comprehension

I have noticed a large # of our students have trouble understanding the questions becaue their vocabulary is limited. Once they have the question read or rephrased to them, they understand what is being asked.

Asking questions of students not paying attention

I am guilty of asking questions of students that were not paying attention in class.

Overwhelmed students

Many adult students have several commitments they must meet in addition to their studies. Those include family, job, and community activities. They tell me that it is very difficult for them to find time to complete everything on time, and to devote as much time to their work as they would like. Does anyone have suggestions for overwhelmed students, or suggestions for instructors of those students?
