I feel that one of the best keys to student retention is the energy the instructor gives and the passion for making sure each student is learning with confidence .
I feel my teaching is going to be through the way of leading by example, that's how I have always been able to learn best, being able to show and pick up by doing.
Creating an environment for learning with real life experience, engaging the students to share and participate actively.
make things fun and make sure people feel good about themselves
motivate your students to push themselves to be better daily. prepare them for the field.
I learned we must be enthusiastic about what we are teaching. If we're not excited, then why should our students be motivated? Being creative in teaching and grasping the attention of our student is important so they are excited and motivated for the career they are working towards.
I love the thought of bringing attention to light hearted things such as starting the class with a joke or pointing out the different "National Days." It is so true that adults love something that lets them feel light hearted and free if even for just a few moments.
Be creative with your students and the ways you instruct to keep them engaged.
Always engage with the student and encourage the good work they are doing.
I learned strategies to keep students engaged includes acknowledging each student, giving the class a moment to settle before beginning lecture, giving breaks between content to ensure the attention span is considered, incorporating lighthearted moments into lecture.
It is important to treat every student with respect and kindness. Learning a little about each student and treating them as humans and not a number is critical for students well-being. Treating students with mutual kindness and respect will encourage them to do well in the class and reach career goals.
I like encouraging my students and helping them reach new milestones.
Enthusiasm and excitement for the subject will help keep the students attention and will keep their attention and retention.
Allow students to help drive the lecture. Give them information and see where their minds go. Make sure to ask critical thinking questions to help to access the retention of information
The instructor must show enthusiasm of the subject matter he or she is teaching
I have learned that success breeds success. Therefore, if students are praised for a job well done, they will be encouraged to repeat their success.
Starting class with a lighthearted opener can allow students to feel more comfortable as they prepare for class to start, and allows the teacher to better connect with the students.
There were several concepts in the second component that are so valuable. The Human Factor and Personal Attention stand out and I need to work on being more engaged personally with my students. Understanding where they come from, will help me teach them better.
Have a teaching strategy/plans but do not be surprised if the lecture does not go as planned and learn how to improvise. Engage the students and be exciting about what you are teaching.
So far I have learned that is important to keep each student in mind as an individual. Also, it is very important to give positive feedback as often as possible to ensure that students are staying engaged and encouraged to move forward with their education.
