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

Lisa, good question. I think it can be valuable for the stronger to help the weaker, however you want to make sure that they don't feel like they are doing your job or that the weaker students are not carrying the weight. To me this requires monitoring to maintain that balance between the stronger helping the weaker & the weaker riding the coattails of the stronger. Ryan Meers, Ph.D.
