What have you learned? I have used the techniques suggested in ED102, and most come as second nature for teachers who truly have a passion for education. However, I learned using a combination of these techniques can be much more effective.
How can you apply it? When I first start a class, I make it a point to get to know something special about each student. This way I can connect with them to find out what challenges and obstacles they may be facing. This gives me a better idea as to how to best motivate them and help them with their learning objectives. I also give regular feedback to help them improve in areas as needed.
What support do you need? If advisors provided more detail to students regarding expectations prior to enrolling students, I think they would come to class better prepared for what they need to do to successfully navigate courses.
