I have learned why syllabi should be specific with all steps involved to achieve the competencies necessary to obtain student career goals.

I have learned that I need to set strict rules regarding cell phone use in the classroom. In addition to that I have learned that as a "Boomer", I should not pretend to know all of the new terminologies that go with the newer technologies, however, I should strive to learn about them in order to foster better student relationships. I am not a "Native" but an "Immigrant" when it comes to technology.

I have learned the why of how my students behave toward learning as I have a multi-generational class

This was very informative regarding the younger generations as I am a Boomer!

A lot has been learned about how to leverage a student's positive strengths to enhance their education and build lifelong interventions that can be used for self improvment.

When we focus on a student's signature characters, it allows for more cohesivness as a group and more positive. outcomes.

I have learned about the new model for acedemic achievement. I will try to refocus on accomplishments rather than on a single outcome where focus is on development of strengths and skills. This is hard with Nursing courses as they must learn skills, however, if their individual strengths are developed then the skills may be easier to master.

Comment on Yakelin Garcia's post: I too plan to incorporate the PERMA method into my daily classes. This really has been an informative class.

I have learned to do Strength Spotting and it will be utilized in my class to enhance the confidence of students that are practicing new skills, inparticularly in lab class. By focusing on the students strengths instead of their improper procedure, perhaps through confidence building their skills may improve.

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.
