This portion of the module discusses how to prepare your teaching by helping provide outlines in the form of objectives as well as goals for development and application of knowledge.
Students need to have a organized and structured environment in which they understand what is expected of them in a application manner. Thus, the students need to know the objectives, course content and have realistic goals. having a syllabus outlines what the class is about and which direction it is headed.Through case studies and examples students will be able to take theory and apply it to a situation. Goals are like road maps that help students understand which way to go. Checklist help teachers cover all parts of learning in a timely manner.
