Resources and tools how to successfully teach your classes while stay professional,organized,and engaging with your students.
Be early, be organized and be successful.
My takeaway for this module is that Planning and Preparation are key components for a successful delivery of teaching. It goes to show how that the instructor or professor has a laid down process in place for not only a successful outcome but also a plan to execute each and every item on the outline agenda.
One of the key takeaways I gained from this module is the importance of being organized and intentional on the very first day of the semester. That initial class sets the tone for the rest of the course, so it’s crucial to approach it with clarity and preparation.
Having a checklist is a practical way to ensure that nothing is overlooked—from arriving early to setting up the classroom and reviewing your materials. It also creates a calm and confident start to the day. Equally important is taking the time to meet your students and make them feel seen and valued. Demonstrating that you are prepared and genuinely excited to teach not only builds trust, but also communicates to students that their success in the course matters to you.
Overall, this module emphasized how a well-prepared first day can lay a strong foundation for a positive and productive learning environment.
Preparation and planning sets you (the instructor) and your students up for success. Course Materials, Learning Modalities, Resources, and Expectations are provided. Your preparation is reflective in your personal presentation along with the instruction the students receive, their engagement, and how much they are able to learn.
It's important to make a checklist and it is extremely important to build relational capacity with students.
Having a syllabus is essential when teaching students because we gain clarity and alignment with clinical competencies. This serves as a roadmap throughout the course.
This lesson taught me one of the most important tools an instructor can have and that is a syllabus. The best way to be an effective instructor is to have a written contract between you and the students. This contract should give a direction of the class goals and objectives, timeliness of testing blocks and assignments, and last but not least the progress each has made to meet accreditation for class attendance and performance.
To make sure you are prepared will make sure that you have an effective class.
Preparing is a very good skill to use every day so that you can show your organizational skills which will also convey to your students that each day will run pretty smoothly and structured.
Something that works very well for me are lists so I plan to make checklists to help keep track/ontop of what I need to do instead of planning last minute
Planning and preparation = effective and efficient learning.
if you plan accordingly, everything will run smoothly.
In life, work, school, all areas, we benefit from being prepared.
Proper planning will ensure both my success as well as the success of the students.
This will help ma as sometimes I can be disorganized. This will help aide in organization skills.
I learned that I need to have instructional objectives that focus on audience, behavior, condition, and degree.
I learned to ensure that set up is all done prior to the students beginning the day, it is also very important to put out a good sylibus so the students have a good idea of what material will be covered and when.
Pre Production before your class is super important. Your ability to think things out is essential to a successful class. You need to be able to plan lesson objectives, assignments, and overall learning goals before the class starts. Planning ahead makes things more smooth.
