I have learnt that using real life experiences help students to retain more information. Being a good listener helps students to share their experiences and problems with others.
I would have to say that this course was spot on with age differences in students. Learning about your students is a great way to help them achieve their goals.
I love the idea of "class cards" as a tool to assist students with learning from each other and making their learning relatable.
Understanding the student's motivations for participating in the program is crucial. Assuming that the majority of students are enrolled in the program for the same reasons is simple. Also Understanding the person's motivations can be used to provide support when things happen.
Getting to know the students and their learning needs are essential to run a successful class.
I learned the importance of personalizing the presentations to keep students engaged. in a sense, it is a reselling of a dream or a goal, WHILE the student is pursuing their dream or goal.
It is important to have discussions with students regarding their "why?"
I really like the idea of surveying students before introducing a topic in order to make it relevant.
Understanding individuals and maintaining professional standards can encourage healthy learning environment.
these student are definitely diverse and as an instructor i think its extremely important to be non Biase & i feel i will be a better teacher for them if i approach them with a good attitude share my skill and discuss knowledge. through this i feel we can all grow despite age and background.
from this section I need to look at my classroom through the eyes of my students. try to gain their prospective and make positive changes where that can be done
This course is helpful in understanding the different experiences and how to best educate the students.
Getting to know your students, their backgrounds, and their goals will not only aid in their learning, but could also aid in teaching of the class. Students can greatly benefit from learning from each other as well as you, the instructor. Listen and be supportive without allowing for disruption or loss of professionalism.
I learned about helping meet the extrinsic needs of students and how meeting this needs, will help ensure their intrinsic needs are also met.
I think no matter what age or group a student might fall into, dignity and respect to each is a standard that i would expect and will practice with these individuals. I also think that listening and validating their input will help boost confidence and overall moral in the classroom. Hopefully with this understanding, it will give them a positive perspective on jobs they encounter because attitude comes first then skill and knowledge.
This section was successful with reminding me how an instructor must be supportive to his students. The instructor has to be able to:
- provide enough guidance and counselling to help the student feel comfortable in the class
- emotional enough to receive any concerns of students
- maintain class with integrity and prover, fair doctrine with which all students must understand and ultimately comply with.
Understanding the correct approach when dealing with different students with different backgrounds and different life struggles is super important when trying to encourage them.
Comment on ashlee stanley's post: Knowing their background and their culture.
Understanding the every students brings in the class a situationg that warrants the teacher to understand them, to be able to teach them.
Comment on Amy Horak's post: target student needing support will appreciate a support.
