Varying my teaching styles to reach many students at their level. Practice my demonstrations beforehand.
I will definitely do demonstrations beforehand so I am sure of what I am doing to teach the class. I love PowerPoints and how they are good resource for teaching. I would also vary my teaching style to reach as many students as possible.
Using different styles of teaching based on audience. Breaking demonstrations up into smaller segments.
A varied teaching style keeps students engaged and dedicated to the learning process. Everyone learns differently, and you must try to reach as many students as possible.
Using a variety of lecture methods will keep the students engaged and alert to the rooms discussions and will hopefully create more engagement between students and instructors, along with getting to apply what's been discussed in lab in the shop right away to create a positive "I've learnt something today attitude and student is excited to apply the new knowledge. that creates a positive reinforcement of the days lesson plan.
Determine the lesson content, goal(s).
Provide a rationale (why do they need to learn this, objectives, delivery methods, materials and aids.
The lesson plan are guiding principles - not strict blueprints.
Preparation must allow for flexible delivery.
Ad-hoc adaptations will add an element of artistry to any lesson plan and delivery
Develop flexible teaching strategy – one size does not fit all in terms of each student especially adult students who have become used to being a certain way.
Vary your delivery to address as many learning styles as possible.
Lecture format flexibility and variety to keep students focused and break up the monotony.
Be aware of the various learning styles and incorporate them into your course. This method will provide the greatest amount of students the opportunity to learn the material being taught.
Learning to pace one's self is important in the delivery of your lesson plan. I would like to focus on that aspect to make sure I don't run over or under the class time. I plan to allow enough "breathing room" in the lesson for students to ask questions prior to moving forward. By doing this I will have a way to double check that the students are understanding the lesson without leaving anyone behind.
be properly prepared for your lessons. be able to reach all students and their learning capacities
How to become a good teacher. Taking the time to prepare before class so the class is set up for success. How students and people have different learning techniques and how to incorporate them.
Prepare, practice, and be flexible. Teach in "chunks" and change teaching styles to reach different learning styles.
Practice the demonstration first, and should you notice multiple students making similar mistakes, address the class as a whole.
People only retain 40% of what they read and 25% of what they hear.
Be creative, be competent, be personable = student engagement and success. I plan on writing this on an index card and keeping it visible during my classes.
Preparation for demonstrations is critical. Rehearsals or practicing before a demonstration allows for adjustments. It is also important to remember one has probably delivered the material numerous times, but it is the first time the students have seen it. So, the slow and deliberate demonstration will save time.
Going forward I will try to implement more strategies other than lecture to engage the students. I like the idea of 15-18 minute increments on lectures, cutting out chunks as necessary, and never skipping the summary. I would also like to record myself to improve my lectures.
a lesson plan keeps you focused on how to prepare for each class session and you want to create an opportunity for students to learn something about themselves.
Preparing ahead of time will give you results that are rewarding. Everyone learns in different ways. Give productive feedback positive/opportunities.
I try to do this for every new class. I like that we are expanding on it. That was really helpful
It's important to structure demonstration and have it rehearsed for accuracy prior to presenting.
