Involving all students in questioning sessions

Hi Joe- Thanks for your post to the forum. I agree that we need to be ourselves in the classroom and if we are good at using humor-great! I response to the student who looks like they really want to say something, I usually say "Jim, any thoughts on this?" Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan

Instruction approaches for kinesthetic learners

Hi Matt - Thanks for your post to the forum. I would have thought that students in culinary programs would be constantly doing "hands-on" tasks like chopping, measuring etc. Were you speaking of the Supervisory class that you teach?Best wishes- Susan
