Hi Lawrence - Teaching in an operating restaurant is indeed a challenge. You pose a good question. i suggest having all the recipes on 3 hole punched sheets along with any menus, presentation diagrams or photos. Students should keep binders containing all this info. Best wishes - Susan

Questioning Techniques

Hi Stacy - I like the idea of asking the question and then taking a moment to erase the board (or maybe write on the board?) it gives increased wait time without the long awkward silence. Susan

Hi Bruce - I like that technique also. It takes learning up a level by allowing them to apply what they have learned. This will also result in better retention. Best wishes - Susan

Learning Styles

Hi Erin - Welcome to ED 103! Oh my - I love the idea of putting groups together in terms of their learning styles! I hope that you are letting them know how the group compositions were arrived at. Hopefully, when they move into the workplace they will take these team building skills with them. Great work! Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career! Susan
