This course was an excellent reminder to me of the importance of staying connected with every students life realities and needs in order to keep them motivated.
This course was insightful.
I think it is a great idea to look at the classroom from the students point of view, and then make adjustments to peek their interest.
See the classroom through the eyes of the students to create a setting that is supportive
teaching a case and teaching a class are very different. Teaching a case is independent of who is in the room, teaching a class is catering to each student and their learning needs.
As an educator, we are responsible for creating an environment that allows all ages to engage and contribute to the learning process. The classroom is a lab the we create for students to explore and learn through to move forward and succeed in their career goals.
I learned a lot from this course but what stuck out to me was being relatable to the students. When you're relatable to the students it not only make them more comfortable but it motives them. It gives them that extra motivation to come to class, do work, and learn because they don't feel misunderstood or alone.
I need to understand where each and every student is coming from. Look at them as individuals who all have different styles of learning.
Very informative lecture! Knowing your students is important, as it shows you are aware, and awareness brings you/everyone one step closer to being successful.
I enjoy how this course talked about getting to know your student needs and also establishing small groups with different age range.
This was a great course, and I learned that motivation is the key to learning. Showing people who they are and who they can't be using Maslow's hierarchy of needs is extremely vital. Maslow loves the hierarchy of needs stated hierarchy of needs plainly. If the students are constantly worried about day-to-day problems, it makes it difficult for them to learn. As an instructor, I need to try to help them walk through these things so they can learn. Focusing on the bigger picture is what it truly is about. I tell my students that the person that I'm really interested in is the older version of themselves. I'm not looking at the state of where they are now, but will be what they will become. Mark Twain said that the two most important days in a person's life is day you are born and the day you find out why.
Its important to identify student demographics i.e., age, culture, disabilities, etc... and tailor learning to meet their needs fostering success.
Student retention is the key to success.
This subject is helpful for my success with the students as it allows me to understand techniques/provides ideas on how to incorporate activities into the classroom to allow success for all students.
Since every student is unique and has a different history and culture, it is crucial to value diversity among the student population. Being able to relate is crucial.
In the classroom my objective is to meet the student where they are in life and to help them develop and achieve their goals. It is important to bring unity to the class through work groups, and allowing and promoting discussion to include opinions and insight.
Students are coming from different backgrounds, ages, and experiences. Its important to connect with them, but also maintain your professionalism that way you can guide them and help them be successful throughout their program. Many students have different motivations and some of them may get distracted when situations are not favorable. It's important to get to know your students and be the neutral support person when things arise.
I like discussing career goals with students to ensure they are realistic and obtainable. It was also brought to my attention that some students do not have support systems other than school.
I recently thought at a partly traditional but mostly non traditional student institution.
This course has served as a re-enforcer to how best I can be of help to my students achieve the most out of the course that I teach. Also it has reminded me about the importance of how I can relate to them each as unique individuals with differing needs from each other rather than a group that needs to pass an exam.
I had not thought about how to integrate students of different ages, backgrounds, and abilities into the class until this course.
