You must market your academy inside the classroom 2. You must market your academy outside the classroom 3. Guidance staff and administrators must be supportive © 2010 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. 10 So, what should we be doing in the classroom? To build rigor you need to build Relationships! Nobody can argue that Cisco programs (and other IT programs) aren’t rigorous. If you want your students to buy into your program and the rigor you must first build a relationship with the students. Bring in guest speakers from the field. © 2010 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. 11 Building relationships Examples Student Hall of Fame Some of my best teachers are coaches! © 2010 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. 12 Building relationships Examples Pictures Posters In & out of the class Display student’s work © 2010 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. 13 Customizing your “crib” Equipment A better lab experience translates to better relationships with students (no, packet tracer doesn’t count!) Each student has ownership in a computer and a rack of routers/switches Posters/Models of important concepts – OSI Model, router configs, etc. Allow students to use reference materials © 2010 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. 14 Grading Rather than focus grades on chapter tests emphasize the practical skills-based nature of the class Students are allowed to retake tests. Students spend almost an equivalent amount of time in lab as lecture Skills exam is weighted the same as a semester final Give bonus points for students who bring in “real life” articles about computer networking Give bonus points for students who do reports on topics outside of the curriculum Let them explore features in Packet Tracer and then apply them to real gear © 2010 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. 15 Class Exposure Get the students out of the classroom and talking to others Students need to perform out of class jobs Discussion Topic – What can we do together as a Cisco Networking Academy Community? © 2010 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. 16 Be a Role Model Take and pass your certification exams Turn your classroom into a certification incubator – posters of concepts that will be seen daily © 2010 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. 17 In my opinion… If you really want to succeed in the 21st century you must be able to accept change and do things differently. Build relationships with your students. Sell and market your program. Posters Brochures Teach in a style that motivates students and keeps students coming back for more. Use Packet Tracer’s Simulation Feature Use games and competitions Make your course practical! Use realistic case studies and samples © 2010 Cisco Systems, Inc.
