Motivation of our students
Beign in allied health sometime i find it difficult to keep our students very motivated.
I found by finding out the students goals at the begining of the course/program allows you to engage in thier personal goal of why they are taking the course/program. As the student slacks off you can step in and remind them why they are here and where they want to go.
I think goal are good for any one set to set for themselves.
Hi Leslie,
I agree! Students should set goals that are attainable and realistic. I also like to let my students know that they should set small goals in order to reach their big goals.

Patricia,
Love the small goal for a big goal verbage, it makes it visual. The first two chapters I teach are difficult for the students, there is not much hands on and what is seems childish. But I keep reminding them we are starting with the basics and building. So I will be using the word goal more. Thanks
