What I have learned from module EC102 and how I will us it
To effectively educate a student for success in their chosen profession, a teacher must use instruction that emphasizes the highest standards of the profession in each course of study that makes up the program of study for that profession. Some of the industries' standard levels may change based on recent technology, changed rules and regulations, etc. Other standard levels will remain the same such as ethical considerations and fiduciary responsibilities to clients. Each course comprising the curriculum should be evaluated on a regular basis to ensure all course material remains up to date and relevant to the profession. Once the instruction standards are defined, identify for each course a set of objectives that align with the skills required of someone in the profession. Choose teaching and learning activities that require the student to use multiple cognitive levels. Continuously review required assignments to make sure each is a direct assessment that demonstrates the students' knowledge and skills regarding the objectives the assignments are meant to assess. Teaching and learning activities should be designed in a way that effectively replicates real world scenarios of the profession where the knowledge and skill being taught is needed to produce a successful outcome. Information for how each assignment is measured and graded should be kept to the ensure accuracy, consistency, and integrity. As a post-secondary program instructor, I could make efforts to work with secondary program instructors to identify dual credit offering possibilities.
