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.
Just treat each student the same. Show them the respect you want them to show you.
I engage all my students to participate in case studies, lab skill etc. I feel it's important to keep them invovled so they feel they are learning through doing.
Be creative, have fun and engage your students. It doesnt always have to be all business.
As a clinical instructor, i try to always keep the students engaged by adding the real life patient experience with what they are currently learning in the classroom.
Getting to know our students as an individual is very important. Being passionate in the classroom is very important. I also believe creativity and an energetic atmosphere is a must.
Create an "whole-part-whole" concept of learning where the students are active participants in the learning of materials.
Teaching adults can be fun with the application of other diverse learning strategies. Paying attention to the student's learning style is very effective.
Greet and recognize each student each class. Might be having a bad day and that is the only thing to brighten it.
In this course I have learned that it is important to get to know your students to better teach them course materials. I plan on incorporating many of these techniques to make classes enjoyable and incorporating fun with learning, while setting reasonable expectations
Taking the time to greet each student when they arrive to class can help you establish a positive relationship with them and understand how they are feeling that day.
It is important to show students that you care about them as people.
Respect and value your students and dont treat them like they are highschoolers.
Have fun teaching, keep them as well as yourself engaged in the activities. If you're excited to learn/teach, they will be too.
To maintain a creating amount of energy and enthusiasm in order to give each class by incorporating fun facts or pizza days
I have learned that is important to have an environment where the students are confidents, where the feel positive and connected with their partners and instructors.
Being creative and adjusting your teaching style to fit the day is helpful. Sometimes students give telltale signals that they need a break to recharge and refocus and it is important to recognize these moments.
Make learning fun! Even if we are teaching adults, it is ok to reward adults and recognize their hard work. Everyone wants to be acknowledged when they accomplish something; adult learners are no different. For example, I love the idea of bringing in a treat (cupcakes or pizza) after the class finishes a huge project. It is imperative that the instructor be excited about the subject they teaching! We are a product of our environment. If I am not excited and engaging about teaching, I should not expect my students to be excited or engaged in learning.
Be enthusiastic about what you are teaching and how you are presenting the information. Your attitude will guide the class in the subject and their learning.
I have learned so much from this course.
