This module taught me the importance of thorough planning and preparation for a successful teaching experience, especially as a new instructor. Key takeaways include the significance of clearly defined learning objectives, the need to organize course materials effectively, and how to design engaging and inclusive lessons. I also learned about the value of anticipating potential challenges and creating strategies to address them, ensuring that both the students and my own needs are met. I plan to apply these lessons by developing clear and structured lesson plans with specific goals for each session, organizing materials that are easy to access, and designing activities that foster active learning. Additionally, I’ll assess my students' needs early on and be flexible enough to adapt when challenges arise. By being well-prepared, I can ensure my students have a positive learning experience.

One way to be efficient is to set the tone with proper planning and preparation to include the teaching environment, setting and writing goals and objectives and making a checklist.

Being early and prepared for a class sets you up for success and reduces the chances of confusion or frustration for your students. Keeping the classroom neat and organized and having your materials ready will allow you to focus on the core concepts of the class.

Having a plan and sticking to it, getting to class early and getting to know the students, pronouncing their names correctly, and keeping a notepad available to jot down things as the notion occurs to me are all good things for me to remember.

Being prepared yourself will help your students to be ready to learn.

I learned so much from this module. Having a checklist is helpful to ensure that the key points are discussed in class. I will make sure to carry a notepad with me to jot down important information that requires follow-up. There is a great deal of preparation that is required to ensure that you are setting your students up for success. Students deserve to be provided with clear expectations, so they know what to expect. 

organizational skills are important. be prepared. think ahead. do not wait until the last moment.

By being prepared to teach the classroom, it will make the teaching process go a lot more smoothly. Arrive, early, have a lesson plan, set a comfortable learning environment for the students and be clear on the learning objectives for the course.

My take from this is to remember that being prepared is very important for each class not just the first day but every day.
