students’ life, seeing them more often, for longer
and more reliably than even students’ parents.
• Leading
– Clear goals and objectives
– Leadership is crucial to the success or failure
Learning Styles
• There are various learning styles, but I’m using
the VARK model for our micro teaching class.
• VARK
– VISUAL

• Teaching styles should match our learners’
learning styles!

•
What is icebreaking? Let’s think…
How to break the ice with your students?
What should we do during this time?
How long should it take to intro?
Arousal Techniques
• Problems or issues or concerns when we teach
the class
• How can we arouse our students?
• What are arousal techniques?
• Which arousal techniques work in what
situations?
• Should we arouse more often/every
time/rarely/most of the time and why?
• When we arouse too often, what effects will they
be?
Questioning Techniques
• How do we know when or what students
learn?
• What methods or techniques do we use to
check our students knowledge?
• How often do we check our students?
