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.

Planning

As the Instructor, you have tremendous control over what your students learn, how they learn it, and most importantly, how they demonstrate their knowledge. Planning will give you the flexibility to adjust your lesson plans to the time you have available and will make it easier for you to accomplish your goals for student learning.

HOW DO YOU GRADE NEW STUDENTS LAB GRADES?

Michael Giovio

Essay type questions

If I give an essay type question to my class, I feel like I will have a hard time grading them. I think the course helped me in realizing that I need to set specific parameters and goals to get the proper results. Im still a little apprehensive about administering this kind of test. Is any one else?

TEACHING

HOW DO YOU TEACH DIFFERENT STUDENTS THAT HAVE DIFFERENT LEARNING STYLES

quizes

I would think that if you give your students to many quizes you will start to lose their attention. My question would be is how often should you consider giving them a quiz?

Michael Giovio

I feel like I have to present too much material in too little time.

I feel frustrated delivering the vast amount of material in a short period of time while still trying to obtain the highest level of learning possible. Is this feeling being observed by anyone else?

Model/Manager/Motivator

I think that Modeling, Managing, and Motivating students are key elements to having successful graduates. "Nine-tenths of educations is encouragement." from Educator's Book of Quotes - Anatole France.

Knowing your students

It will be difficult for me to get to know my students in the clinical setting in the beginning. it will require strong effort on my part. I will keep short notes on each student as I go for reference to myself.

New teacher being prepared

Need helpful suggestions on understanding objectives and goals. I am learning the importance of being prepared as I see the students "testing"me.

Learning styles

In class I try to vary the material presentation as often as possible to accomodate all the learning styles by using some powerpoint, class hand outs and in class lab demos.

How to deal with a student falling behind

I have used all resources available and techniques, but I have one student that participates in class and seems interested in the topics at hand, and also volunteers. But when it comes to test taking, it is all downhill. Any suggestions how to reach this person. I have already talked to her one on one, I myself suffered from test anxiety, so I tried to give her some suggestions on test taking, so far nothing has worked.
