About the lesson

I enjoy applying a wide variety of strategies to my classroom instruction. The traditional format of lecture is supplemented with PowerPoints and visual information to engage the students. I have found that most students, regardless of age, enjoy using technology as part of the learning process. The majority of students I work with have very challenging schedules, so I integrated an online classroom platform to provide the students with access to material 24-hours a day. I use case studies to help students apply solutions to actual problems. I also use interactive projects that require the students to use their personal knowledge, textbook, and outside information to create an event. Hands-on learning is one of the most effective forms of teaching that I use. I have developed a restaurant lab that the students run once a week. This not only helps solidify the material but also gives those students without much real-world experience a better working knowledge of the industry.
I understand that each learning experience is unique to each student, so so I try to cover as many learning styles as possible.

About Yolonda

Over the last ten years, I have engaged a diverse group of adults that include traditional and nontraditional students, various ethnic and economic groups, students that are changing careers or learning new skills, and many students over 55 years of age. Each class, group and individual student required a different combination of teaching styles to improve their learning outcomes.  Currently I am teaching online Hospitality Purchasing and Cost Control along with Menu Design and Layout in an 8 week format using Blackboard.
 Recently taught a customer service lab for a fine dining restaurant. The class utilized face-to-face instruction, e-learning, on the job coaching, and self-directed learning environments to teach and train adults how to manage dining room operations. Students improved their skills and developed new skills in customer service, daily operations and staff management.
 Each training session has a diverse population mostly made up of 18-50 year olds and operates every 4-weeks.
 Utilized e-learning for communication of weekly expectations and daily feedback, distribution of classroom materials and testing to measure learning outcomes.
