Recently, I have deepened my understanding of modern diesel technology and welding techniques, which are crucial for preparing my students for careers in these fields. Learning about the latest advancements in diesel engine efficiency and the best practices in welding safety and technique has been particularly enlightening.

One major takeaway is the importance of hands-on training combined with theoretical knowledge. I plan to incorporate more practical, project-based learning into my curriculum, allowing students to work on real diesel engines and engage in welding projects. This approach will help them gain the practical skills necessary to troubleshoot and repair equipment effectively.

Additionally, I’ve recognized the value of promoting safety and best practices in both diesel and welding environments. I intend to continue to help students to develop skills focused on safety protocols and equipment handling, ensuring that students not only understand the technical aspects but also prioritize safety in their work.

To share my reflection and action plan with my peers, I’ll organize a collaborative meeting where we can discuss our teaching strategies and explore ways to enhance our programs. By sharing insights and resources, we can better prepare our students for the challenges they will face in the industry.

I’m excited to implement these strategies and support the next generation of skilled diesel mechanics and welders.
