EffectiveEffective teachers systematically and carefully plan for productive use of instructional time.

The more organised a teacher is, the more effectiveeffective the teaching and learning is.

Effectiveness versus Efficiency

Being efficient is doing anything, right or wrong, and getting it done in a timely manner.

Being effective is doing the right things the right way for your students that move them closer to their goals.

Adult Learning principles

•Adult learners are experienced, they want to use what they know

•Adult learners want to understand the new by seeing it as an extension of what they know and the work they are currently doing

•Adult learners value themselves as a resource for others

• Adult learners are aware of the knowledge, skills and strategies they need. They like to negotiate changes in teaching methods and challenge teacher’s ideas.

• Adult learners are more concerned about meeting their own standards of achievement than satisfying the expectation of others

Is it the same for all learners?

What should a teacher reward?

Does it make a difference?

“….Mmmm Learning …anywhere, anytime!”

Sydney Institute of TAFE must continue to adopt innovative approaches to make education relevant and accessible to all learners so as to implement new learning options to improve student outcomes and thus prepare our workforce for the challenges of tomorrow.

“Today’s students are no longer the people our educational system was designed to teach” (Prensky,2001)

Time to rethink how we teach…

• ‘Digital Natives’ = ‘Net Generation’ = ‘Y Generation’ = ‘Millennials’

• Born roughly between 1980 and 1994

• Characterised by their familiarity with and reliance on information and communication

technologies (ICTs).

– prefer multi-tasking and quick, non-linear access to information;

– are adept at processing information rapidly;

– have a low tolerance for lectures;

– prefer active rather than passive learning;

– rely heavily on communications technologies to access

information and to carry out social and professional interactions.
