Actively engage students in the learning process. This can be done through games, activities, and discussions that encourage students to participate and contribute. Provide regular, personalized feedback. Feedback is most effective when it addresses the specific needs of each student. This can be achieved through individual meetings, written comments, or verbal feedback in class. Create a supportive learning environment. Students are more likely to succeed when they feel comfortable and respected. This can be accomplished by building rapport with students, using positive reinforcement, and addressing their concerns promptly.

Building a rapport with students is vital to student engagement in the classroom. 

Communication with students about their needs or potential barriers to learning is incredibly important. I thought it was incredibly insightful to think of the learning environment from the perspective of a student.

The course is very practical and hits older students as well as younger ones. This creates a real life environment that is consistent with what they will be facing on the job and gets students aware on how to face this challenge. having this well rounded perspective is important to your work environment and in the class.

Motivation is the key factor when it comes to succeeding

Love your students treat them like your own children. Explain them things as you are explaining to kid

Having empathy and care for each student goes a long way. Get to know one thing about them and give constant otimistic feedback. You never know how far that can go. 

teachers should always have amn open mind to learn

Completed the ED102 and the information was very straight forward. Understanding the students and tailoring our teaching methods are a must. besides building a curriculum or preparing the lesson plans, we must pay attention into all individuals and check how our materials are being learned. it is our duty to make sure the material is for everyone.

ED 102  Taught me a lot about the human factor being caring and understanding of the needs of the students.

Allowing students to select their own research topics makes for more meaningful connections with content. 

I have learned that getting to know your new students or new employees helps to set the stage for establishing trusting relationships from the beginning. Staying connected with each one makes them feeling heard and supported. 

By using the tools that were given to me, I was able to reach my students more and be more patient with them. Understanding that things come up and life will continue on happening, I have to understand my students needs and understand that certain activities will need to be more hands on instead of given on paper. Take my time with my students as when I were a student myself. 

The lessons were excellent!

One of my biggest challenges is to keep my students from missing class or leaving early. 

I thought that will not be an issue since the majority are paying for their classes. I made thought they would be the most interested to make the most of their money. However, it is hard sometimes for them to keep coming regularly or stay for the class. 

The policies in the institution are clear about the assistance, however,  I have to give them additional reasons to stay until the end of each class using resources such as pop quizzes, or extra credit assignments. … >>>

Intrinsic motivation is long lasting and need not reward because the student wants to do the tasks. Meanwhile students who need extrinsic motivation can see that the task is completed by is usually influenced by the reward. Over use of extrinsic can led to dis-enchantment and fatigue.

Security is when your student have a positive outlook on life and their believe in their personal abilities to preform duties.  Autonomy is the ability to self govern and to have so input or involvement with their activities. Both will enhance the student ability to achieve.

I am a new instuctor so there is much for me to learn.

Learning can be challenging. However, after completing the ED 102 course training I realized, this training session is refreshing for all educators. 

- Refresh/Refocus/Re-Enhance your skills and continue to be that exceptional educator you were called to be. 

Congrats!
