Motivation

Respond to this scenario: You have completed a project for a teacher that has taken you almost a month to complete. It was handed in on time, and you have waited more than three weeks to receive a grade on it. You have inquired about the grade, but have not received a response. What role does feedback play in student motivation?

Classroom Managment

Through your experiences as a student in elementary, middle, or high school, describe a classroom management technique that a teacher used (don't worry about the name of the technique, just describe it). How did you feel about the management technique as a student? If you were the teacher would you use the same technique? Why or why not?

Instructional Strategies

Think back to when you were an elementary, middle or high school student. Describe the most memorable experience you had as a learner. Describe the instructional strategy the teacher used to make the experience and learning come to life for you.

Instructional Strategies

Strong (2002) states, "Teachers who successfully employ a range of strategies reach more students because they tap into more learning styles and student interest" (p. 43). Has this been your experience as a student? Give an example to either support or refute this statement.
