My classroom is mainly hands-on skill development, including but not limited to how and why we communicate with the raw public. With this in mind my goal is too give them insite to what could happen but also why these things could happen as well as the skills to do their jobs well apon course completion. My course outline gives each student knowledge of what we will be dicsussed and how much time we will have to learn hands on. This outline enables me to provide each learner with opportunity to gasp and master skills needed in the workplace. Yet it can provide the learner with the comfort of insite to what is next. With my part of the program being mainly hands on I can have trouble with the less confident student and bringing them out of thier shells. I typically use possitive renforcement but can, at times need more. I would like and need suggestions on other ways to encourage this hands on learning, any ideas?
