Learners NOT Students! All of us are learners. Think about it. We were born curious and open to learning or we wouldn't walk or talk. It's just how each of us were made. Learning is part of us. 1350-1400 - Middle English, alteration (influenced by Latin studre, to study) of studient, studiant, from Old French estudiant, one who studies, from present participle of estudier, to study, from Medieval Latin studire, from Latin studium, study.] This is the 21st century not the Middle Ages. All the references to student that we could find represent someone who studies or is being taught as part of an institution. A student is someone who is learning when they attend an educational institution. In the Free Online Dictionary, student means: 1. a. b. How about calling students, "learners?" Think about yourself as a learner in and outside of school. A student... What do you think of the term "learner"?
The Ten Worst Teaching Mistakes by Richard M. Felder, North Carolina State University and Rebecca Brent, Education Designs, Inc. Reprinted from TOMORROW'S PROFESSORsm eMAIL NEWSLETTER You may download a PDF version of this document. Like most faculty members, we began our academic careers with zero prior instruction on college teaching and quickly made almost every possible blunder. We've also been peer reviewers and mentors to colleagues, and that experience on top of our own early stumbling has given us a good sense of the most common mistakes college teachers make. In this column and one to follow we present our top ten list, in roughly increasing order of badness. Mistake #10. You know what happens when you do that. Mistake #9. You stop in mid-lecture and point your finger abruptly: "Joe, what's the next step?" Mistake #8. It has become common for instructors to put their lecture notes into PowerPoint and to spend their class time mainly droning through the slides. Mistake #7. Mistake #6. Mistake #5. Mistake #4.

8 Characteristics Of A Great Teacher 8 Characteristics Of A Great Teacher by Ian Lancaster What makes a teacher strong? What differentiates the best from the rest? 1. Confidence while teaching can mean any number of things, it can range from having confidence in your knowledge of the material being learned to having confidence that your teaching acumen is second to none. It’s the confidence that you know you’re in the right spot doing what you want to be doing and that no matter what transpires, having that time to spend with those young learners is going to be beneficial both for them and for yourself. 2. Having some life experience outside the classroom and outside the realm of education is invaluable for putting learning into context and keeping school activities in perspective. 3. Just as each student has a different set of interests, every student will have a correspondingly different set of motivators. These students run the risk of disengaging altogether. 4. Yes, all teachers are heroes. 5. 6. 7. 8.
The Importance of Asking Questions to Promote Higher-Order Competencies Irving Sigel devoted his life to the importance of asking questions. He believed, correctly, that the brain responds to questions in ways that we now describe as social, emotional, and cognitive development. Questions create the challenges that make us learn. The essence of Irv's perspective is that the way we ask questions fosters students' alternative and more complex representations of stories, events, and circumstances, and their ability to process the world in a wider range of ways, to create varying degrees of distance between themselves and the basis events in front of them, is a distinct advantage to learning. However, Irv found that schools often do not ask the range of questions children need to grow to their potential. Tell: Tell children the story by reading the text or having them read the text. Suggest: This involves providing children with choices about what might happen next or possible opinions they might have. For the story, here are some two-question rule sequences:

Lessons Learned from My Students June 13, 2013 By: Candice Dowd Barnes, EdD in Teaching and Learning My students have taught me some invaluable lessons during my first two years as a college professor. I’d like to share three of the most important ones here. They aren’t new lessons and I didn’t use any unique methods to learn them. Assumptions about students can be dangerous I have learned from students that new learning can be overwhelming. I complicated the problem with my assumptions about their skills, knowledge, and dispositions. Deepen the learning to maximize the learning It has always been my goal to impart as much knowledge as possible to prepare students for careers in their respective disciplines. Champion the content Students are exceedingly concerned with their final grades and miss the value of learning the content. To combat this challenge, it was important for me to find a way to champion what is truly valuable and important. Dr. Reprinted from The Teaching Professor, 26.5 (2012): 6.
The 49 Techniques from Teach Like a Champion The Blogs below continue the chapter "Setting and Maintaining High Behavioral Expectations." Technique 39: Do It Again. This technique is perhaps the only negative consequence that truly works. Building Character and Trust Technique 43 Part 1: Positive Framing. Teach Like a Champion is an excellent resource for teaching, especially for middle school and high school students. How to Shrink Your Course Image: Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989) This summer, I faced the challenge of squeezing a course I usually teach during a 15-week semester into a paltry 6-week session. It felt like trying to pour my post-Christmas body into skinny jeans. I had taught this developmental-writing course twice before during the regular academic year, but I knew it would be a whole new can of worms in a shorter time frame. While I’m confident that my students learned to become better writers during their brief time with me this summer, there was plenty I tweaked along the way to make that happen. Trim the fat without cutting the meat. So I had to declutter — that is, I had to prioritize my curriculum to determine which units and readings had to go and which absolutely could not be cut. In a course that prepares students for college writing, could I, in good conscience, get rid of the big research project? Speed through the getting-to-know-you routine. Second, I pushed office hours from Day 1. Break it up.
