Activity

I think it's only fair for students that lesson plans are put in place by the teacher; so that the class runs smoothly and student are able to learn in an organized way.
I beleive the key to help student retain the most out of course is by integrating new information gradually, and with repetition.
I beleive that in general, adult learners, come to class with some level of anxiety. And so, by using different methods/tools the instructor may get a better result by switching his approach depending on students' needs.
I feel it is very important to remind myself on regular basis that students learn in different ways using their own form of intelligence.
It was beneficial to refresh my memory on the different ways the brain process new information.
I believe that the “greatest tools” an instructor needs to have while dealing with people and their disabilities are patience, kindness and humility.
I like the idea of arranging the seating and/or work areas in different format. Not only because one can easily move around the room but also I feel it rejuvenates the room itself and brings a “new life”.
In my opinion, nonverbal cues are “silent killers” and they can affect how the instructor is perceived by his or her students. Therefore, one should try to be aware of their own mannerism so they can be controlled in positive way
I believe it is so important for an individual to surround himself/herself with positive individuals. Moreover, I truly think that it is a "life style" that someone should aspire to have which, in my opinion, would make a person happier in every aspects of life.
Many times over, at the begining of a new class, I have had students write down on a white baord what they wanted out of the course. This technique, I feel, has helped me make the goals/expectations both realistic and specific.
