Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
There are different teaching methods and it must be in accordance with the students' learning style.
As teachers, we need to adjust the methods of instruction to reach all students. Students learn differently and knowing that early can help the student's progress.
I currently follow up with students after they graduate, and I will continue that.
I learned various teaching strategies that will help me make a big impact in my students lives.
I liked the buddy idea, holds them accountable to someone other than the instructor and typically learners react better that way and will do the assignment or project as to not become on bad terms with their peers.
I like the 3 month follow up strategy via email. I think I will try this with my next cohort.
Comment on Sandra Byrnes's post: That is a great statement and I found it to be impactful even in my short tenure teaching.
Comment on Kathleen Watts's post: Thank goodness for social media platforms this was you can keep up with former students without be invasive.
I learned how to be impactful to current and future students that the small things count.
I learned that there isn't just one correct way to teach students. A variety of teaching of methods should be used synergistically to maximize student investment in learning in the classroom.
The importance of adaptation to different learning styles
I like the idea of them having a buddy to follow up on what they were going to do at home to enhance their learning.
Pairing students up with a "buddy" who they can touch base with and encourage, seems like a great idea.
I plan to utilize the email method for former students to send me information about how they are doing and sending a small prize to those that kekep in touch and udate me.
I'm in agreement with colleagues that group learning is a great tool to use when all of the group buy in to the process.
Encouraging students to learn in groups would help cultivate a collaborative environment wherein students would also learn from their peers.
Group assignments have resulted in positive results in my leadership classes. Students were enaged, discussed ideas, and produced results.
Asking students to reach out later in life and email / share success with current students
Encouraging and assigning group works with students outside the classroom always gives good results.
