Email Communication

Hello Instructors!  With all the recent class cancellations due to the weather, emailing your students can be a great way to stay in touch with them. While reading William A. Draves' How to Teach Adults he mentions how emailing students is an easy way to briefly and quickly communicate. Here are three ways in which email can be used.

Class notice. Send out emails a couple days before class with a short overview of material that will be covered in class or words of encouragement. Use email to send our emergency announcements of a class cancellation.

Personal communication. A great tool to use if a student has a personal matter they would like to discuss privately with you.

Answer questions. Use email to answer questions from students in between class meetings. Just remember, only the initial student will receive that additional information. If all parties agree, consider sending the email response to the rest of the students.

Hopefully, these tips can help conquer the classroom. Feel free to contact us if you have any marketing needs, advice, or questions. Let's work together to better CTC Continuing Education.
