One of the most important concepts I have learned from this tutorial is that, yes, it's important to know the details of my program, however, I don't necessarily need to manage these details.
Students in our program are here because they want to be a successful dental hygienist. It is so motivating for me to see them develop their skills as they go through the program. Their intrinsic desire grows along with their confidence levels. Receiving positive feedback from instructors who are passionate about teaching continues to increase their motivation.
I believe reflective thinking is such an important part of learning. I think students will retain so much more of what has been discussed in class when they are given the opportunity to reflect at the end of the day.
I have been teaching for 6 years & have never heard of dyscalculia. It's amazing to me that I have probably had several students with this disabilitly & didn't even know about it. I probaby had it growing up. I wonder if it's something one can out-grow or learn to manage. I think that people with dyscalculics often have a related difficulty with telling the time, using a calendar, and therefore also with time management.
