How To Be An Effective Teacher

The purpose of this presentation is to provide participants with skills they can apply in mentoring or instructing students in veterinary school and veterinary technology schools. By the end of the presentation, participants should be able to describe why explicitly communicating expectations and roles to students promotes their student success. Participants will be able to recognize and capitalize on “good teaching moments” so that they can capitalize on these opportunities for students’ education. Participants will be able to develop and apply “teaching scripts” to develop students’ analytical skills. The role of appropriate feedback in shaping students’ ability to critique their own performance will also be discussed.
