Learning styles

Everyone has a mix of learning styles. Some people may find that they have a dominant style of learning, with far less use of the other styles. Others may find that they use different styles in different circumstances. There is no right mix. Nor are your styles fixed. You can develop ability in less dominant styles, as well as further develop styles that you already use well.

ED111 Active Learning Methods

Putting this method to use. I find that the students get more involved. They seem to feel engaged in what they are learning. You need to interact with each student. This really helps them understand.

The Lab: Teach or Monitor Safety or Prevent Horseplay or Vandalism

I have up to thirty students in an automotive lab. No assistant to help me. I can only do one of the above. Management wants me to do it all. Impossible. I can either watch the students or teach the students. I can't do both at the same time.

The Importance of Caring

I thought it was interesting how this course mentions the difference between being a friend to the students and a pal. Clearly, I agree that it is not appropriate to be a pal and break the teacher/student relationship, but I do feel that it is crucial to many students to feel understood and that is done by being a friend. When a student is struggling we can do so much to help them see that there is hope, but we can only show them there is hope if we understand their situation. I have had students who were not coming to class and not responding to our efforts to reach out to them. As soon as I was able to talk with them I was able to show them that I truly want to understand their unique situation and help them and they start coming and they start working. How do you try to connect with your students and do you find that your connection with them aids in keeping your students involved?

Teachng and engagng

We as teachers must make that connection even under challenging situation.

Classroom set up

Elementary, Middle school, and High School ideas in setting up a classroom for adult students should be considered to promote learning activities.

New Substitute

I have been in my field for 25 years, and I'm a new substitute instructor at a trade school. The course work has already been established. Right now I would like to have tips from other more experienced subs how they go about conducting classes that are random. Thank you in advance.

Creating a Multi-Sensosry learning environment for ELL students

English Language Learners will learn English and the content area of any subject using activities related to the sensory areas.

Strategies

I find that the course is helpful because I am always looking for ways to engage the group of students that I have.

Standardized tests...

...are becoming the new norm. They allow data amongst all learners to be compared and thus all for more adjustments.

Formative Assessment....

....has become a hot topic trend in education today. Teachers are being asked to use formative assessment to adapt instruction in real time.

Questions as a method of teaching.

You can spend an entire class just asking questions and guide the students through the learning process. It is energy consuming but rewarding when the students get to the correct answers on their own accord.

Diverse Learners / Test Takers

I was interested in the information provided that a test taker will be 10-15% more productive on assessments if given the assessment int heir learning style.

Outside the Classroom

Think creatively about the flipped classroom. What else besides watching pre-recorded videos could you have students do outside the classroom to enhance learning?

Hands on learning

I teach electrical wiring so we do a lot of hands on wiring and testing. We also take them out on wiring of old and new buildings to teach them codes.

classroom set up

The seating in the classroom is very important not only for teaching style of the instructor but for the learning impact of the students
