About me

I have a passion for education and especially for ensuring that all of us continue to apply what we have learned. I am excited about the opportunity that the Lounge provides for all of us to discuss how we are applying what we have learned & to share those great ideas.

I have had a varied background from secondary education to corporate training & now working in the career college sector. But while I have moved in different circles it has always been surrounding my passion of education. I look forward to our conversations.

Maintaining Eye Contact

beverly, excellent point made here. A student may be reluctant to admit confusion or to ask a question but they probably show this in their eyes. If we can read this message, we will be able to help them. Ryan Meers, Ph.D.

Identifying Important Communication Skills

Maureen, this is a great idea & approach. I often marvel at how show folks make each show seem fresh & as if it's the first time for them. As instructors, we may have presented this same information a million times, but we need to keep it fresh & exciting for the students. Ryan Meers, Ph.D.

It’s All About Relationship!

Noreen, and by researching & knowing both sides we have a greater chance of controlling those emotions. As I understand the other party, I can see why they feel/think the way they do & so I better understand them. Ryan Meers, Ph.D.
