HOW CAN I CONVINCE THE ADMINSTRATION TO APPLY THIS IMPROVED LEARNING TECHNIQUE IN MY COLLEGE?
I think as learning is a contieous process, so literacy skills should be. Creating more chances to gain & perfect litracy skills should be a priority in every practical context as well as every class. This may cause the instuctors to go an extra mile to make it to happen. I will start with myself!
Twenty plus years ago when I started teaching I had a flat affect. I was shy back then and scared to be in front of a crowd. Being a psychiatric nurse I had a standard affect for the different type of behavioral challenges we encounter as well as an affect when standing on the bus stop in a bad part of the city. Fast forward, I secured a full time position as a psychiatric instruct at a community college. They put us through rigorous requirements over 5 years to dig deep into introspection, reflection and getting feedback from peers on your instructional approaches. After securing my Phd I secured a position in a university setting, where another battery of educational opportunities on effective teaching, videotaping lectures for self-evaluations and peer evaluations.
The challeng was I always had a flat affect since a baby. I had to work hard on improving my facial affect which I did. One day I saw myself in the mirrow and scared myself. I said on my this is what people see. Fast forward I am full of smiles now. I share this to say it is important to self reflect, take the critical feedback and adapt. I am now confident and secure and know how to use my affect to effect positive change.

It is very important to keep the bullet points to five. Remember it is a guide to keep the instructor on track and guide the student in topics to read in their book. It is important to have equal amounts of white space between your bullets. Graphics should be carefully considered to reinforce the content and not be perceived as offensive. Please, do not read from power points. If you have thought it out and prepared the slides you know your material and the content should come across as a discussion.
