In my classes, I continually use critical thinking skills with the students.  They are preparing for careers in respiratory therapy and they will have to be able to recognize a problem, define the problem, analyze solutions to the problem and apply the solution.  At times this process must take place in seconds or minutes to provide care to a critical patient.

We have students already in the program come to the classroom and talk with the students starting their first programmatic class.  It helps to hear from someone, who is already successfully completing required classes especially for hard programs with a lot of skills to learn.

I, too, found information that I will be able to apply to the classroom.  I also found information that told me I am on the right track with changes I have already made to my preparation and planning.

I began to use lesson plans in my first quarter of teaching.  It definitely helped me to stay on track and not miss key information.  I have seen my classes improve and I think the lesson plan was a key factor in the improvement.
