Treating people cordially, daily interactions, showing to them the realistic goals to be achieved in bite size bits, seems logical but became more aware of while reading this module. creating a warm welcome learning environment is important to their success within their chosen industry.
By learning students names there is an added level of comfort to the class.
Hold students accountable for the lesson they have to learn by allowing them to ask questions that keep them engaged.
We must avoid creating intense competition among students, and you must tell students how they can succeed in your class.
Building trust and rapport with students is essential for success!
Take the time to learn your students and it opens up the learning environment.
It's important to incorporate all teaching methods in order to ensure that your students are getting the best delivery.
"I've learned that being enthusiastic about the subject you're teaching is crucial to keeping students engaged. If you're bored, they will be bored too. It's also okay to inject some fun into the classroom, as long as it's controlled. A little healthy competition among students can be beneficial, but it's important to keep it from getting out of hand. Too much competition can give students the wrong impression of the class. Additionally, setting high expectations is necessary, but it shouldn't be the only focus. We must also prepare students for the real world and let them know that it's up to them to take what they learn and apply it in their lives."
Enthusiasm, personal attention, providing feedback, and respect lead to an environment that promotes active learning.
Students are engaged and want to learn through different ways, so the instructor needs to be diverse in teaching methods to engage all students.
I was blessed to have thought a human bio class to a group of students who worked as CNA's, LPN's etc.
The class was full with laughter as each student could hardly wait to interject the lecture with their own experiences at the work place.
This created a fun and hyperactive learning environment.
This course has served to reinforce several aspects of teaching including "the human factor" which does play a huge role in student engagement during lecture.
I learned that adult learners has experiences and they can learn if an instructor can use these experiences with topics discussed. It is also necessary that in the first meeting to remember students name because you are giving them respect.
I learned that 60% of student's success rate is based on studnt's respect for themselves. In order to better engage students and show that the instructor cares, instructors should learn the student's name and something about them in the first class period. Getting to know their background and experience will help show the instructor cares. Allowing students to vent a little bit in class and then redirecting them to class learning will help the instructoer keep charge of the classroom.
I like to use jokes to keep people engaged.
Having a dynamic classroom, promote interactions among students and create a fun learning environment will make students' retention effortless.
Teaching starts with you. if you have a passion for your trade, and love what you do- it shows and carries over to the students.
The differences between adult and younger learners. Also, being willing to meet the students where they are for a more holistic learning experience
Human aspect is important in the classroom. The first step is knowing the name of students.

Classes should be engaging and exciting for students; variety keeps adult learners engaged.
