The Power Point projector went down. The training aid you were going to use broke. The students are going to sleep with your lecture that you thought would be entertaining. Do you have a Plan "B"?

Instructor Rewards

Joesph, It is not by coincidence that some of out best Instructors have been involved coaching sports. We are Models, Managers & Motivators. The "Coach" fits all of these qualities. Thanks for your comment. I plan on sharing all of these replys with my Instructors.

Instructor Rewards

Andragogy?

When we at NTI started to take the assessment, not any of us had a clue what "Andragogy" was or meant. The Instructors commented that they must be really stupid not to know. I told them that terminology is relative. A PHD in Psychology would probably not have a clue what a "wrist pin" is. But, the Technical Instructor and the PHD can educate themselves to gain the knowledge of both terms. This is the same with our students. We will need to learn different ways to introduce new terms and concepts so the student can gain the knowledge to… >>>

Course ED 106

This course is excellent for New Instructor Training or remedial training for Instructors challedged with classroom issues. If the last 2 modules continue with the good info as the first 2, ED106 may be a course I would incorporate into NIT.
