You ask yourself what do you want the learners to be able to do after the end of the course. These are major objectives. For example, you want them to be able to access Yahoo Answers in an area of their expertise and to answer at least one question that receives a "best answer" rating. This objective includes a performance expectation (doing the task), conditions (in their area of expertise), and criterion for success (getting a best answer).\n\nThis would be an end result that is measurable, and describes the outcomes in terms of what students should do.\n\nEnabling objectives (called by various names) might be identified to help students reach the terminal objectives. E.g., demonstrate that they can access the site; log in successfully; locate questions in a topic known to the students; answer questions; determine when they have a best answer; etc.\n\nThe trick is to distinguish between lower-level and terminal objectives, so check some of the literature to better understand this.\n\nHope this helps.

The best and most overlooked way to improve classroom education of any kind is to introduce the use of boardgames. I have taught for over ten years all over the world, and only when I use boardgames do students voluntarily insist on extending their classes for two, three, even four hours. Not only that but they then show the most rapid improvement. \nCheck out the following websites for some useful background info.\n\nhttp://www.rpg.net/sites/edu/1-1.html...\n\nhttp://www.rpg.net/sites/edu/1-2.html...\n\nhttp://subscriptions.fasfind.com/wwwtool...\n\nhttp://www.gama.org/uploads/ns/xx/nsxx7l...\n\nGive it a try and you will be amazed. At least you will be helping to break the monopoly that the big textbook publishers have over the education industry.

yeh i do agree because teachers aren't too focused on motivating their students and standards are lower than they used to be. For physical ed, teachers dont care to teach that much, they just have the students play and assume that they know everything.

Look to businesses that serve educators/education field. There's a great company - McGraw Hill. Educators make great salespeople! Good luck!

DIfferentiate your instruction.  Check out the books by Carol Tomlinson on the subject.  You need to design lessons that allow for the content, format and assessment to be adapted to the needs of individual students.  Specific strategies depend a lot on which subjects you're teaching.\n\nBe sure to avoid seperating students by ability level.

There should be an effective listening skills course. As a higher ed prof, I have taken several courses on it, but in our K-12 system in the US, I think it is largely overlooked. The K-12ers seem to be so intent on teaching what they have to that they don't seem to be listening to our children.

I would try asking this on Yahoo Answers. Try the education section.

I wish there was a book.  I've found the best way is to simply talk to other teachers.  Borrow their ideas and shape them into what will work for you and your class.  It seems like at most staff developments the best you can hope to come away with is a few good ideas.

For industrial designers you can search on http://idsa.org or http://core77.com. Most designers are open to discussing their field and general design questions as long as you are flexible with your schedule. If you contact the chair of the local idsa chapter they can also recommend someone that would help you and regional schools that might be good to look into.\nGood luck

There is so much you can do with your time at the end of a lesson that would FACILITATE learning, not just consume time.  I honestly can't believe that a teacher would even ask this question.  I would suggest that you have the students work together in groups to produce a game show like Jeopardy or Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (using PowerPoint- you can find templates online), with word problems related to the unit you're studying.  Then, you could use those games to review concepts before the test.

So you know what you have to teach. Physics also develops on itself a lot, so having a structured order of topics makes learning easier for the students.
