Get Your Students Hired
In this module, I learned that one technique to use if students are getting distracted, is to switch to another activity, which will help students regain their attention and focus.
Plan your course develop additional resources. Such as handouts or worksheets focus on your students ability to complete the same work breakdown lesson plans. May need to adjust from class to class based on student learning
The plan B is always important , If you se your student not engage or participate in the lesson plan. Some time the majority of students have not experience or training in Scott Skills which are critical for career success.
Finding out what Students do or do not know about the topic of my class is important. It dictates the level of depth I will be above to go on certain topics.
Have a plan B prepared. If students get distracted use plan be to get them engaged in the class again.
Assessments - quick ones that help determine the disconnect. Change the path when students begin to become disengaged with the topic.
Having the students do a class assessment, during the course, on 3x5 cards is a good idea.
I appreciated the concept of physically moving the students around the room to change the activity.
How do make adjustments in the classroom to keep the students engaged to maximize their learning potential.
I learnt many things.
Have a Plan B.
If students seem not motivated, change things up. divide them into groups. Give case study. do a small status assessment on 3X5 cards.
Be ready to adjust and keep the students busy and engaged in content or else the will wonder.
It always helps to have a lesson plan of the main points and divide the lecture into sections.
While getting to know my students on the 1st day of class I usually give them a pretest to find out what they know or don't know about the program or course.
