How do I empower students in the classroom?
- Give them lots of opportunities to succeed in the course. Encourage all students to participate in classroom discussions and appreciate all contributions. If students are struggling in your class, give them additional instruction or help them find someone who can help them. At the University of Oregon, Academic Learning Services provides individual, group, and drop-in tutoring in many areas. Encourage your students to work in groups and to help each other with the material. Students become empowered when they feel some ownership of the material which they learning. Help them gain a theoretical and working understanding of the material which you present to them.
