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.

Challenges of Using Students Groups

Eric, these are definitely some of the challenges of using groups. You are right that groups should never exceed 6-8. I like to form the groups even over the protests as it helps split up groups. Ryan Meers, Ph.D.
