K-12 and collegiate education is different from an instruction stand point. This is my second year of teaching high school students and even still to this day I ask myself, "What the heck did I get myself into?" My class is setup similar to yours in that if you show effort you will pass. Although the terminology can be a little difficult to grasp, I try to make my class as interactive and easy to catch on as possible. <br /><br />Unfortunately, I don't have an answer for your question because I have the same exact question. Some of my strategies are to have real world connections, try to relate is specifically to their lives, but it hasn’t helped too much. How do you motivate people who just don't try? What connection can you make with a person so the light bulb will spark for them...? Someone, help us!<br />ChiroCourthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11030289384054938338noreply@blogger.com
