Throughout all my lessons that I delivered I found the way the truly works great for me.

I tried many ways to deliver a lesson. Delivering lessons ranging from me talking mostly to the students talking mostly to one activity to many activities. What I found works great is I have a quick intro outlining the plan for the day, start off with a joke or something to lighten the mood a bit and focus the students attention. After have a group brainstorm on the topic we are discussing. Then have a hands on activity for the students to work on followed by a worksheet discussion. I found having self paced learning with brainstorming and focus on individualized learning works very well for me. I like going to each student and ask them questions, then ask them follow up questions.

Having students have a positive learning experience and take a hold of there learning is something I found works. Individualized learning also works as well and discussing to each student there strengths and weaknesses when needed is also great. The students that I taught were very pleased with the way I taught them. I had students that I did not teach ask me questions and hang out in the shop after school to ask me questions about math, science and other subject fields.

I really felt my impact on the extra curricular activities in the school were a big help to my success in the school.

Teaching, from all the lessons I have taught, I have learned many lessons from my lesson. One the biggest is taking it slow. I know the information and the students might have never heard of what I am talking about. Another is relating the information to something the students know and relating it to other subject fields. Also to ask students questions, the students formulate questions and ask from views that I might have never thought of before.

One of the ways I find works very well for me is to teach the students one on one. Teach the class the bare bone basics and the safety in the shop classes. Then I go around and work on each students strengths and work on some weaknesses. That way the teaching is more personal and the students don’t feel like the are getting push through like a factory and I can tailor the learning to the student.

I find it to teach not in learning styles because I do not believe in learning styles. Although individuals maybe proficient in learning a certain way it is great to develop the individual as a whole. Giving them as much feedback as possible, giving them questions and following up on those questions down the road. Teaching using all the senses are a great way of feedback because we are humans and the more sensory feedback there is the more chance they can retain the information.
