Prior to this course I would do a learning style assessment on my students. In career education now there is a wide range of ages that come into our school with a wide variety of educational backgrounds. I have learned through this course that perhaps we should focus more brain learning than learning style.

Teambuilding is an important concept in the Career Education environment as it is a necessary concept to performance within a corporation or company.

I have learned how to better apply the IDEALS concept in the six steps of Effective thinking and problem-solving. I will utilize some of the tools that I have learned in my classes to develop better and more career-ready students.

I have learned the most effective ways to deal with disruptive student behaviors. Very practical methods were revealed within this module.

This lesson has taught me that through the years I have had and utilized at least three management styles. I have also learned that I tend to tailor my styles more to the classes as they too have changed in their needs over the years. Great information in this module!

I have learned how objectives should always be aligned and reflect Occupational/Learning standards that are set forth in the governing bodies for the states.

Good time management is essential; try preparing for the unexpected while maintaining class time. You have to keep all students engaged regardless of their skill level at the beginning.

In teaching you should always have a back-up plan for times that things do not go as planned.

I have learned that the use of questions that are well thought out are an essential tool in the assessment of student learning.

I had known that learning styles were important to address when creating material for students to learn, however, I am not sure if I had even thought of different intelligences. This was excellent for me. I have learned about the use of multiple intelligences to group students and to understand the students different behaviour towards learning.
