Unless you have a formal education in the field of education, many career college instructors struggle with the basics of teaching. We learn from doing, and we learn from others who have done, and sometimes we get it right. Other times we get it very wrong, and this becomes painfully obvious as we tap-dance in front of our students, covered in bomb-sweat, desparately hoping for the bell to ring to save us.
Two things ED101 provides: ideas and validation. If you have a lesson or even an entire class to develop, Effective Teaching Strategies will provide you with the tools to create and structure your ideas into a structured, shareable plan. And if you are one of the lucky ones who just instinctively know how to do all these things, this course affirms that you are on the right track.
