Teaching vocational students: a vocation (arbeidsmarktfinaliteit)
Do you, as a vocational teacher, feel like you're moving mountains or pushing stones up steep slopes? If so, you're not alone. Teaching vocational students can be a challenging but rewarding career. But sometimes, it can feel like you're banging your head against a brick wall. That's where this course comes in. We'll talk about the challenges of teaching vocational students, but we'll also talk about a way forward.
Programma
You'll get some ideas on how to:
- motivate your students;
- manage classroom behavior;
- teach to different learning styles;
- assess your students' progress;
- compare notes with other teachers.
We’ll work in pairs and in groups. You’ll get time to work with other teachers in the same situation.
By the end of this course, you'll leave with more and better ideas about how to teach your vocational students. You'll also gain the confidence to know that you can do this job, even when it feels tough. You won't need to buy a new handbook or subscribe to a new teaching method. You'll work with what you've got, but you'll do it with a bit more confidence.
