I am going to have a safety quiz based off safety procedure and rules.

Everything is intertwined. Positive relationships with students, defined expectations of students and teachers, and mutual respect enable or encourage the other behaviors.

I need to “codify” lab practices, cleaning up after themselves, safety procedures, and note taking (probably more). My students are coming in with limited skillsets/knowledge (or lax attitudes). By codify, implement a way to put these practices into the curriculum (student grades). Of course, then I have to effectively teach it.

Is anyone using Blackboard discussion board? If you are, how do you deploy in your class? Is it for tactical things like due dates, holidays, etc. or are you getting engagement on course material?

Having rules and boundaries are critical to a good student-teacher relationships. A good professional relationship will foster a better learning environment.

What have you learned from this module and how do you intend to apply it? Take a few minutes to post your response and learn more from your peers.
