About me

Activity

Thrus far this course has open my eyes to many options I can start to apply.

This course provide many avenues and techniques to communicate base on different situations.

Active listening is a some times hard to do in a very busy lab. However active listening is a necessary skill to apply.

This course has open my eyes to multiple ways to introduce course objectives and goals. In some ways I have been doing this by lecturing on a topic then  lead into a physical demo and concluding with Q/A session.

I have had students get really upset of being pretested. The student felt they were being put under stress.

I try to add or adjust the tempo of lecture & lab to stay with in the skill & learning level of the class as a whole. For individual that can accell beyond set pace I will usually have a project of their interest or request fellow classmates.

I sometime show students their attendance record plays a major part towards being hired for that first new job. I explain how an employer looks at the attendance record as a quiet statement of how reliable the student is.

Sometimes I find it very hardto convince a student to stay in school when there is no employment in the area to support him or their family.
Motivating students as well as myself can most challenging from time to time. However what I have learned to do is reflect on the positive of class growth kwonlegde wise & my growth as an instructor, and refocus from there to achieve the goals .

One of the challenges I have encountered, is getting students to recognize adult education is not a continuation of high school whenit comes to mature level. And choices they made can impact them for a lifetime adversely.
