The multiple intelligences idea really caught my attention.

Carl Rogers promoted student-directed learning in a supportive, non-threatening environment through experiential learning, where students learn by actively doing, such as through internships or service projects.

Theories of adult development are important in education because they help teachers understand how adults learn and grow over time.

Adult learners are very important in CTE classes because they bring valuable life and work experiences to the classroom. They often have clear goals and are motivated to learn skills that can help them improve their jobs or start new careers. 

There are various ways to assess student learning.

Evaluations and assessments are good checks to measure student learning AND content delivery by the instructor.

Investigating and learning through questioning is a higher level of learning where the student actively wants to receive and process information.

I think it is always important to inquire about what learning method students prefer.

Breaking content down into digestible bites that will allow my students to progress is my ultimate goal when creating a lesson plan.

First impressions are crucial. Getting to know the students and letting them get to know me is important in building a student-teacher relationship.
