Being prepared is an important part to successful teaching.
My key take away were preparation and setting tones/expectations. I know there is a curriculum set up but I like the idea of making it my own course while still following the course outline. Not everyone learns the same way so it will be interesting to see how the class learns and reacts and of course I will also have to adapt.
The ABCD Model is truly effective for designing a learning experience:
Instructional objectives should include four components in order to be effective for both your students and you. Take into consideration components A through D:
- A-Audience. Who are the targeted individuals? You need to have a clear understanding of the entrance knowledge and skills your students possess upon entering your course.
- B-Behavior. What is it you want the students to do? What is the balance between knowledge and skill development that is required?
- C-Condition. What are the rules for their performance? Will they work in the lab, out in the field, with notes, references, or will all work be done through memory?
- D-Degree. What is the level of proficiency required? Will a 70 percent skill level work for your course or does the field require 100 percent proficiency?

Planning before teaching, making sure you have enough handouts for the anticipated number of students. The classroom is reserved for YOU, there has not been double booking with another class.

The key to going from a good teacher to a great teacher is preparation.
Be prepared for all potential situations
Prior Proper Planning. This lesson taught me that being prepared starts with the development of the syllabus. What I am taking away from this course is that I need to study the syllabus, dig into the teaching strategy I want to use, ensure I have the classroom materials and get to know my students before they arrive. I can make sure my individual classes have checklists so that I don't forget any of the material that needs to be taught.
Early and careful planning helps an instructor be successful in providing an optimal learning environment for students.
Planning and prep for your class ensures it runs smoothley therefore making it effective and a good use of everyone's time

I have learned it is very important to tailor a class to fit the various learning styles of the students. Complete syllabi help students direct their learning and plan their lives, knowing the expectations of the course.
Being prepared makes a big difference in presenting new information to students.
An Instructor need to be responsible and thorough developin g a sructured instructional plan for successful learning experience of the students.
