I learned skills to reach the students who have a harder time participating
I learned about the REFOCUS tool and the importance of a mid-term survey. I plan to use both in the future.
Building rapport with students is essential
Enthusiasm for the subject can keep students engaged even when the subject matter is difficult.
Keep fresh ideas of hands on activities for students. Sometimes equate silly things with material content. Sometimes the sillier the better. Even though students dont say things they always pay attention. So ask them what their opinion is on a certain topic and allow them to go with it.
I have learned to switch up my class presentations to keep students interested and engaged.
Creating a crisis scenario and having discussions about it can help students understand where they are in understanding content, give time to express what went well/not well, and allow for new questions/discussion on topic matters.
Making the class fun trust me it will keep them engaged.
In Part three, Learnativity stands out. I want to create more fun in my classroom and need to figure out how I can do that. Also, I want to create real world simulations, so I can help my students walk through normal life on the job in the career they are training for.
This module showed the importance of having good rapport with students and showed new ways of engagement in the classroom like simulating a crisis
I've learned that it is important to recognize your achievements as well as your student's achievements to keep everyone motivated.
Adding real world examples to a classroom setting brings conversations from all individuals in the class and how they would handle an emergency situation.
Maintaining constant feedback from the students about how they learn the best not only helps to build rapport but keeps them engaged as well.
"Common sense" is the key ingredient for teaching success, the concept of "learnactivity", and REFOCUS acronym.
Importance of the staying engage throughout lectures and getting the students to stay engaged. by use of diversity of teaching approach.
Remember to rejuvenate yourself.
In the course I have learned that it is just as important to be a motivated instructor as it is to motivate a class full of students. REFOCUS is a good acronym and tool to assist students learning.
Share things or experiences with students. Keep the class lively, check in on them and yourself.
Instructors should use strategies to promote active participation in class discussions. Otherwise, students may not be able to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary for success.
Integrating storytelling is a great way to engage learners and assign meaning to otherwise mundane topics.
