motivating a student who wants to learn is easy. but trying to motivate a student who is not willing to put in time and effort into education is a challenge. I have always said that "they did not want to like me but they did". you have to get into their brains and find out what makes them want to be there in the first place. help them figure out what is important in their life.

empowering the student

you have to put the power of learning in the students hands. take what they know already and add to it. give them a chance to pick out snapshots of their own lives and put it in the lesson. you will be amazed how fast student pick up new information.

classroom learning

I have found that having an exciting classroom will not only increase your classroom retention rates but increase your overall grades because the students want to come to class and learn.

adult learners

teaching adult learners to me is easier than the young. the adult learners do bring in their experiences from life into the classroom and not only helps them but the entire class.

retention

thank you I enjoy teaching and I enjoy hearing my students teach and pass on what they have learned. they hold themselves up so high and are so proud of themselves when they are teaching.

retention

I love to use class groups to help the student keep the information they have learned and use it. I also like to use the students as teachers to help them process the information differently.

information to students

student need to take what they already know and apply it to what they do not know. giving the students a chance to do hands on work after they are given the lesion will help them remember the information and be able to apply it later on.

multi learning styles

I use a number of ways to get and keep my class's attention. I use the learning style I have used to receive my own education and the learning styles of my other classmates. I find it useful to use a number of ways to reach all the students.

brain function

when discussing the brain in class, my students are always amazed of how complex the brain is. do you think we will ever know the full function of the brain and what all it can do?
