A Question
Who are the three or four best teachers that you have ever had?
What made them the “best?”
Is this the same as “most liked?”
Is this the same as “favorite?”
Is this the same as “most inspirational?”

Consistent Concept
Teach with Your Strengths: How Great Teachers Inspire their Students

Quote from Teach with Your Strengths
“Mountains of research point to the this remarkable fact: While their styles and approaches may differ, all great teachers make the most of their natural talents.”
“Here’s something else: Great teachers don’t strive to be well rounded. They know that ‘fixing their weaknesses’ doesn’t work – it only producesmediocrity. Worse, it diverts time and attentionfrom what they naturally do well.”

Goals of Classroom Teacher
The goals of a classroom teacher should NOT be• to present material flawlessly from start to finish.• to present material in the most elegant way.• to cover every page of the text.• to cover every possible type of problem.

Goals of Classroom Teacher
The goals of a classroom teacher SHOULD be• to try to help the students learn what they should know about the subject.
• to view the teacher’s role as a tutor– to get the students through the hard parts– as a friend to help students
• to emphasize the applications of the material.• to make homework that reviews the material.• to make homework that extends the material to practical applications.

Challenge: “Students are Leaving Engineering”
Survey of 713 engineering students
Research universities, in particular, often make a half-hearted attempt to encourage faculty to be more effective teachers.”
“The way a teacher interacts with students is seldom accorded the importance it deserves.”
“Expression, intonation, and body language that might convey a condescending attitude need to be modified.”
![Page 37: Effective Classroom Teaching · [Blank Screen] In “Making Technical Oral Presentations, I strongly encouraged you to become critical observers of the mechanic\൳ of presentations](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042209/5eacb0b044179b1301145039/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
Challenge: “Students are Leaving Engineering”
“One effective way of building rapport is for a professor to let students know that he or she had to struggle at times.”
“Measuring teaching along the two dimensions of 1) interpersonal rapport and 2) teaching skills suggests that a professor’s approachability is perhaps more important than his or her teaching abilities.”
“While learning to teach well takes time, being personable can be implemented immediately.”

Set the Right Tone.
“If you do not turn in your homework by the beginningof class, I will grade you down or possibly not acceptit at all.”
“Please turn in your homework by the beginning of class, so that you can avoid any possible latepenalties.”
Two Approaches to the Same Issue:
(Threat)
(Polite Helpful Request)

41
Learning Students’ Names
By calling on them in class
pick names in advance
By calling their names when returning papers
By supplying name cards to use in class

43
Encouraging Discussion
Ask questions.
Give credit for “participation.”
Call on particular students - pick names in advance
If they don’t know the answer
Lead them step-by-step to correct answer.
Twist their incorrect words and make them correct.
Call on someone who is likely to know answer.

Active Learning. Student participation will facilitate learning.
