Getting student participation in questioning sessions

Hi Sahbaa-Another idea that you might want to try to get students to ask questions is to give them the assignment of putting a question on a slip of paper without their name on it. Then you read the questions in class. Susan

Knowing the learning styles of your students

Hi Deanna - Thanks for your post to the forum. Although I would hesiatate to say that any learning style could be considered a "weakness", I do agree that especially with younger students, encouraging them to explore learning styles is well worthwhile! Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan

Becoming self-directed learners through questioning

Hi Kelli - Thanks for your post to the forum. I also teach primarily online now. Do you find that your students reply to your follow-up questions? So often I find that once they have posted the required response they do not return to the module or forum. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan

Supporting the learning styles of your students

Hi Joel - Thanks for your post to the forum. I can see how culinary classes would limit what you could do to accomodate your written word learners. My suggestions would be to always have the recipes, Powerpoints, etc. printed out for them. You could also find an interesting culinary related article each day or week to share with the class. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan
