It is important to understand the career goals of students
I learned it is important to see things from the student 's perspective and to discuss what the student's needs might be
Let them know the rewards of the career they chose
Help them with any issues
Know the students background and how they can keep their interests in the class
Realizing the external and internal factors of students behaviors can be extremely helpful in the classroom when working with a diverse age group. By assigning students of different ages to work together in small groups, there is an opportunity to develop an appreciation for what each student brings to the class and can contribute to the group effort.
In this module, I gained a better understanding of how to engage and understand student frustrations and personal problems.
It is important to understand your student needs in order to help them to accomplish their goals. No matter what your age group is we all want to succeeed. Motivating your studenta and encouraging to stay focus on why we are here will help them to bring a positive perspective to the learning environment.
Information was helpful to differentiate from case to clase. Putting it more into perspective from a student view how they may see it vs I with experience. Example in a clinical lab settign what wil draw them more to see and DO vs just see and speak. Incorporate more visual then put in into play as we role model in a lab setting.
I will pay attention with the behavior of the student and address personality issues in a calm and constructive way to resolve issues thst may cause the learning environment to suffer. I will teach them to remain focus on why we are here. I will remid them of their strengths and encouraged them to always set your goals in life at a high level in order to achieve success.
Each student will have different levels of needs and understanding
Understanding the student's intrinsic and extrinsic needs is very helpful. This will better prepare me to plan labs and lectures. I want to make sure the students receive what they are expecting and what they enrolled in the course for.
I picked up how important non verbal ques are. Listening instead of verbally reacting.
KNOW YOUR STUDENTS - not only by name; know what kind of support (internal and external) they need, what motivates them, and what their career goals are
I thought that retention was going to be focused on a students retention of the information, instead this seems to be more focused on retaining students at the school. Still learning, just not what I thought the topic was going to be.
I learned that having intimate knowledge of a subject doesn't always translate into being a good teacher. one must be able to take into consideration the backgrounds, goals and possible limitiations of the students being taught.
I've also learned the importance of seeing things from both perspectives as an indtructor as well as a student.
I liked the idea of looking at the extrinsic enviorment as if I was the student. I am going to pay more attention to the labs and classrooms I teach in.
I have learned how to get to know each student and meet them on their level. I intend to get to know my students during the course and through the professionalism assignments and better help them improve their involvement in the classroom
Allow students to use their life experience in the classroom
