Professor Dancealot

Sometimes it is good to observe the teaching style of others to determine if what we are doing is better or worse by comparison.  The video shown below is a clip of how one professor teaches a class on dancing and then evaluates student learning.  As you watch it, ask yourself if you are guilty of some of the mistakes being made by this teacher in ways big and small to inhibit student learning of culinary arts and sciences in the lab and classroom.  In other words, do the teaching methods you select match up with the methods you use to assess or evaluate student learning? And if your students are not measuring up to what it is they are supposed to learn in your classroom or lab -- given their  performance on the assessment or evaluation methods you have selected -- then who is to blame?  The student?  Give it more thought!

So sit back and take note:

Happy Teaching!
