Life Experience

I think having the students relate their life experience to their feild helps them to connect and appreciated what it's going to take to be successful and how what they have already gone though can help them.

Staying Motivated

I really think it is very inportant for instructors to stay excided and motivated about teaching, if we as instructors lose our zeal and excitment our students will lose their and that defeats what we are trying to do. Yes sometimes we do get worn out but we have to refocus and power ourselves back up to their goals.

Adult Learners

I find teaching adults to be most enlighting most of the time because they are very attentive to what they are learning, they ask questions, do research, and try to get the most out of the class, and as an instructor that make teaching the class very exciting.

The adult learner

As instructors we would like to think that our adult learners would be self motivated but most of the time thats just not the case, we have to be ready to give lots of support, encourgement, and motivation not to mention praise and reasurrance to help them reach their goals.

Learning Disabilites

The first week in class I always have some type of class participation which involves each student having to do a little reading in class, and then explain what they have read, this helps me get an ideal of weather the student can read and comprehend, or if they can read but not comprehend what they read.

Locating Yourself

I like to move thoughout the class because it gives me a chance to see if the students are paying attention, it also makes them realize that my focus is not just on one person but on everyone and that I expect everyone to participate in the class discussion.

Pretest

We use pretest here at my school and I find it very helpful because it gives me an ideal of what I need to focus on the most for my classes, helping me plan my classes where I can spend more time on the topics where help is need the most and not waste time on classes that the students already have good knowledge of.

Being excited about your career field

As instructors we need to be excited about our own career field, if we are, our enthusiasm will spill over into our work and will motivate our students to have an excited interest in their choosen field also.
