About me

I am an Education Advisor/Consultant for MaxKnowledge. I write courses that assist in the professional development of career college instructors. These courses range in content from the introductory level to advanced instructional development. I started my teaching career as an instructional technology teacher on the high school level, completed graduate school and then moved into higher education. I spent many years in the area of teacher training at the University of Nebraska. While at the University of Nebraska I stared working with career college instructors to improve their instructional delivery skills. As a result of these experiences I have been a consultant to career colleges throughout the United States and a number of foreign countries.

Jarrod, The more you can "connect the dots" for your students between the content of your course and the real world the better. By doing so you are increasing the value of the course for the students because you are helping them to move closer to their career goals. Gary Gary Meers, Ed.D.

Reanna, I find this as well with my classes. Certain classes need this approach and others require a different way of using the different deliveries of instruction to get them engaged. Gary Gary Meers, Ed.D.
