Hi Dianna, I like the idea of securing a signature. Students take it more seriously whenver you get them to sign documentation. Patricia Scales

Hi Renee, Great response! When students understand course relevancy as it applies professionally/personally they have more of an interest in the course. Adult students want to know the benefit. Patricia Scales

Hi Edward, Guest speakers are the best, and they can give true meaning to what students have been taught based on the textbook. Patricia Scales

Hi Adrienne, Guest speakers are priceless, and students love having guest speakers. For the most part it is not difficult to find guest speakers. You can even give the guest speakers a topic or certain things you want them to address. Remember professionals like feeling important. Start looking for a guest speaker based in your area, and you will find it is not hard to do. The placement coordinator serves as an excellent resource for helping out with finding a guest speaker.

Hi Carmen, Absolutley! Every student is important, and we should make it a point to interact with each of them daily; if it is nothing more than a simple greeting. Patricia Scales

Hi Scott, You are definitely on point. Listening is key. Sometimes after you have listened, the student feels better simply because he/she wanted to vent. Patricia Scales

Hi Guy, Teaching is time intensive. We have to do what needs to be done to produce a quality student. Patricia Scales
