Activity

After taking this couse its great to know that my campus is on track with all the safety dills and compliance mandates. Informative information.

I enjoy reading inspirational quotes and writing them on the board. If a student is not having a great start of the day, after reading the quote it usually makes them feel better.  On occasion we talk about the quote about 5 minutes before class start, other times students may ask if they could share a quote to encourage others. AWESOME!!!

My take a-ways from this lesson include pass out index cards before lecture, instruct students to write down any questions , proceed with the the 10-15 mini lectures. Before class is dismissed take time to answer questions on index cards. Instructors must become story tellers when delivery is based on a lecture for effective results.

 

Sometimes students have a difficult name to pronounce, I like the idea of taking a headshot of students.  I can use the pictures to help me identify that person and come up with away for me to also learn to pronounce their name. (put in syllables)

This lesson was detailed for the instructor especially having a check list for preparation: having objectives and covering all that is listed, setting goals for myself and students. Having the necessary materials I will need.

I write Objetives on the board everyday. Not only does it help me to stay ontrack, but the students will know what must be completed for that day.  As objectives are completed thay are erased, therefore students can see what remains to be done. Assignments with due dates are also written on board  as a reminder.

I learned different ways an instructor can be a professional example to students. I also learned that the way I present myself is actually considered a style of an instructor.  I will greet my students at the door when they enter the classroom.

Discussion Comment

I have students to read over syllabus at home and write down any questions they may have concerning the syllabus. When we come to campus I will go over the syllabus first before presenting the subject matter to ensure everyone understand the  course expectations, outcomes, grading system , attendance, etc.

Depends on what class you are teaching. If its a lab class I find that just working with my student one on  without a competency sheet can help. This allows the student to work at their own pace without just thinking about their being graded. Have a conversation with the student 1st to find out if they really understand the procedure and expectations. If they don't understand either, its ok to reiterate the information. Now you can begin the assessment, and more than likely encouraged the student.
