About me

I love teaching. I get a great deal of satisfaction from knowing that I can pass my knowledge on to someone else and they can go on in life and begin a new career. It has been a real learning process though. At times, I did not think I could do it. I just kept pushing when it became uncomfortablem and little by little, I just got better at it, and enjoyed it so much more. It was worth it.

Interests

exercise, gardening, boating, spending time with family and friends.

Skills

great with getting along with others. great with always trying something new

Student assesments

I believe it is true in some situations that admissions has a responsibility to put a student where they are best suited. That does not always happen. Usually within the first couple of weeks the student usually drops, unless you give them a reason this course might well suit them. An assessment by the instructor might help, as well as, some personal one on one time with the student.

Instruction tools

I realize that using too much of one particular learning device, may not be the way to teach to many different students. I will improve on those devices in class.

Types of instruction

I am finding out that there are so many different ways to instruct students and to keep them involved and motivated. There are so many ways to keep them engaged. This is exciting.

Personality of the instructor

I did not realize how important that my own personality would be in relation to the student learning. I have always been easy and love to interact with students, but will use it more to my advantage when I am having a difficult time with a student.

This course helped me a great deal to identify problems with students much earlier than I did before. It also helped me to slow down to take time to think

Instructor mistakes

Sometimes it is difficult to stand back from a situation with a student. I try not to react too soon. Sometimes that can be challenging, but in the end, time away from a problem, can often difuse it.

A difficult student

There will always be a class that has a student that needs extra attention, or adds a dynamic to the class that is a challenge. I will always try to talk to the student to find out what is going on in their personal life first, then try to ask them what they could do to try and change things for the better.

Student behavior problems

I like to take the time to get to know the new class a little better. When a problem arises, I like to talk to the student one on one to try and resolve it. If anyone has any other ideas, I would love to hear them.

Helping with student proficiencies

Whenever I have a student that is having a difficulty with a particular proficiency, I will spend extra time outside of class to help. This always seems to work. Does anyone have any other ideas that might be of help?
