I have learned that it is more beneficial for students to be more strict when it comes to accepting excuses, because every student has them and it is not fair to allow some excuses and not others. I love that Concorde has a very strict policy on late work--this makes the expectation clear for all students.

Critical thinking does not come easy to everyone, therefore instructors can utilize problem solving tasks to encourage more thinking. This allows for interaction between classmate or groups to pose different opinions, responses and dialog which cultivate learning which does not feel like learning.

Instructors Should have at least 3-5 learning strategies and those strategies should coincide with the learning objective. Also that student need to more than a passive learner to help the develop skill of time management, brain storming with peers and tools of debating and discussing material within small groups and developing a sense of team. Rubics plays a role is assessing student completed material that reduces judgement as an assessment instead as an opinion.

Set backs can occur when the instructor is use to the face to face style teaching as lecturer and when the student are refusing to participate in critical thinking or have never experience this style in past educational experiences. This active learning style may be hard to grasps by both instructor and student alike. The benefit is that the learning is place squarely on the student with instructor role as monitor of student achievements. It also provide for critical thinking through role playing, group discussion ado or games to allow retention of information. Good technology benefit both and when it… >>>

Students are well prepared when the interactive teaching style is presented. This style allows for discussions, collaboration among peers,group project all at allowing student to do critical thinking and problem solving. All teacher will benefit when student retain information and it is applied to their personal lives,

Student success is top priority. By having all my homework done and ready for the start of class will help my availability to students. This will keep my focus on the classroom environment 

School accreditation site visitors look for consistent frameworks being used throughout the curriculum. All syllabi used in the program need to be reviewed and updated to ensure all course learning objectives are being met. 

My action plan to be successful in the classroom is:

1.  Review course content, set-up, prepare, and post biography.  The biggest challenge with be becoming more comfortalbe with the LMS.  A wise educator once told me, "Begin with the end in mind."  This - is my best practice for me with any course.

I will focus on engagement by incorporating interactive activities and discussions into my training sessions. I will use various online platforms and tools to create a dynamic learning environment that encourages active participation from my students. For example, I might use breakout rooms for group discussions, online polls for instant feedback, and multimedia presentations to enhance the learning experience.

To ensure effective learning, I will also include quizzes throughout my training sessions. These quizzes will not only assess the students' understanding of the material but also serve as a way to reinforce key concepts. I will design the quizzes to… >>>

My students enjoy exchanging quotes during our morning huddle, so decided to share a teaching quote with my peers.

Enjoy and make it a great day :)

Using your skills in the virtual classroom can be a very successful thing if done correctly.  There are several ways to approach your new classroom.  Participation is key and, but it has to be engaging with the students.  Providing feedback to the students as often as possible will improve the student, instructor communication.  Also, having a module of your class and the course management system will provide you as an instructor with fool proof learning objectives. 

In principle, thanking you for the course was very enriching, it will add exponentially to your career as a teacher and I promise to develop more courses.
On the other hand, I would like to tell you that the years that I have shared in the academy have allowed me to develop a strategy with my students. I empower them and I always tell them that 🎶I'm Unstoppable today🎶, this allows me to hijack their attention, and only then do I achieve the transmission of knowledge in a very assertive way.

I learned to succeed in online teaching I need to have everything organized. Everything from course materials, course technology, lesson plans, action plans, grading rubrics, policy procedures, etc. 

The structure of my classes should engage all of my students creating an interactive learning environment.  

I need to prioritize effective communication with all of my students.  

I recall my first student. I was a first semester grad student in biomedical engineering; my student was a freshman with aspirations in the same field.  As I began explaining a biochemical pathway, it became clear this student had no knowledge whatsoever of the concept of 'electrons'.  I had assumed that this student, having graduated high school and demonstrated a passion for science, would have a baseline skill set.

Common sense is often not common, even less so the more geographically and culturally diverse our classrooms become.  In order to serve our broad communities, we must recognize these opportunities.

This course is reminding all instructors to understand the subject matter at hand.  We need to make sure we are able to understand the concepts as well as the knowledge to teach students remotely.  I also appreciate the value on supporting students, which can be impactful towards their experience.  Students need to feel supported in their education process to achieve the goals they desire.  

I learned about the many different on line tools and how to choose which is the best for the learning environment. I found this helpful as I am brand new to teaching.

You have to always start strong and be on a course in the beginning because this really sets the tone for online learning.

Dear Peers,

I recently completed a training course, and I wanted to share with you some of my reflections and my action plan for applying what I have learned in my workplace.

During the course, I gained knowledge and skills related to project management, including effective communication, team collaboration, and time management. One important takeaway for me was the need to delegate tasks and responsibilities to team members effectively. In the past, I have tended to take on too much work myself, leading to burnout and delays in project completion. Through this training, I learned how to assign tasks to… >>>

I am an educator who has not stopped my learning journey. Every day is an opportunity to learn more and be better. I use training and further education to challenge myself on things I have yet to discover. An inquisitive mind is a non-ending learning mind.

I learned that in order to be a successful CMS instructor I must know not only about my discipline, but also that I must be empathetic to generate confidence in different learning environments, such as asynchronous forums, synchronous classes, and monitoring of students' academic performance. The tasks are vast and can be conflicting, but getting organized is professionally exciting.
I hope to put into practice what I have learned with teaching jobs that are enriching for everyone.
