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.
