I think understanding why students are getting their education is a great way to tailor their experiences in classs.

This course was very helpful.  I learned ways in understanding that each student is different and learn in different ways. Understanding in a students prospective is important. Unique teaching allows instructors to encourage and support students and allows the students to succeed in class.

I learned in this section that using real-life experiences can help and be more understanding, know your students to have a better understanding to help and guide them in any way.

From this course I have learned the importance of learning individual students experience levels as well as reasons for attending classes. This information will help me guide my students in the direction that is needed.

I learned to be teach based off of how the students learn. make the discussions something that they may be able to relate to within their lives or what they are going through.

I think that using real life examples and telling of experiences makes it real for the student and allows the learning to further sink in.

This course teaches the instructor to teach students from students' perspective, with that being said, as they might be coming from different cultural backgrounds, and unique life experiences.  

As instructors and people who have experienced potentially more scenarios and events share our stories in education, we can still learn from the student and their stories as we discuss cases and events.

The retention of many students is the direct result of the career goals. I can help them to refine their goals as they become more confident and established in their training sequence.

Framing my lecture around experiences my students can relate to will be most beneficial. 

The course was very informative and helpful! It is a good reminder to keep in mind that we are training individuals to be successful in their careers, so we need to focus on their unique learning needs. Everyone needs a support system to help them through life. It is crucial to have a clear understanding of the students different needs and the kinds of support we can provide as an instructor. 

This course was a magical adventure, highly recommend

It is important to take a step back and see things from a students prospective. Getting to know the student, their background and goals can help you better teach them. 

This was helpful for me to understand the value of looking into things differently through the eyes of the students.  Getting to know the students and how to prepare them for their skills, why they decided to enroll in the school and classes.

Going to the classroom before class and gaining a perspective from the student's point of view

I have learned that leading with a supportive and encouraging approach (not coddling) will instill a deeper sense of self-belief in the students and ideally lead to higher retention rates and great success stories. 

Accomodate the learning need without compromising the knowledge and skill requirement when teaching diverse learners.

I think it was insightful to expound on how students of different ages are motivated

Basic understanding of the different types of students that are in the class, such as age, county of origin, leaning experience, job experience, etc. These will help in finding ways to be able to work with those students that are in more need of assistance either by the instructor or the school system in order to be able to retain them for further education.

This course has shown me a lot in only the first few of its many classes. Age has been something that, while I would like to neglect, has proven to be a force that requires acknowledgement in the classroom. The discrepancies between older and younger students are often too large to ignore and most importantly involve the student's own motivations for attending the course. The trick is to acknowledging and applying the needs to both in the classroom, which can include personal asides outside the class or even positive affirmation for those older students.
