FAPSC February eCourse Now Posted
 

Student Learning & Assessment in Career Education

Career educators work with students who want to learn specific skills that will lead to fulfilling careers. As career college instructors it is our job to help each student to achieve this goal. Just as you may have a particular style of teaching that you prefer, your students have preferred ways of learning. This course will help you to identify the different learning styles of your students so that you can adjust your instruction to better accommodate them. Good teachers also regularly monitor the effectiveness of their instruction by assessing their students’ learning. This course will examine several aspects of assessment including how to create good tests, how to ask effective questions and how to get your students to actively participate in their learning by asking questions themselves.

This is a facilitated online course providing 4 hours of continuing education credit.
