Learning Styles

Hi Duane- Welcome to Ed 103! I think that if you make a concerted effort to vary your delivery methods to accomodate the learning styles of your students, you will actually get a much more unified class as they will all be getting what they need. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career! Susan

Questioning Techniques

Hi Hank - Using an opening group discussion is a great idea. It is a good transition from all the side conversations and as you mention, gets them in their seats and ready to go. Best wishes! Susan

Hi Randall - Welcome to ED 103! To me, designing my lesson plan is like writing an act in a play. You set spots for questions that will get the characters(students) to participate. Great work! Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan

Testing Formats

Hi Lou - Welcome to ED 103! I so agree - grading rubrics are essential and should be made available to students at the start of a class, preferably in the syllabus, so that from Day 1 students have a clear idea of expectations. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan
