In this module, I’ve learned that thorough planning and preparation not only enhance the learning experience but also reduce anxiety for both students and instructors. A well-structured syllabus sets expectations and communicates the journey ahead, which can build student confidence and motivation from day one. I really appreciated learning about the ABCD method—it’s a practical way to write objectives that are clear and measurable. One habit I plan to implement is creating a daily checklist for each class session. This will help ensure I’ve covered all critical points and have all my materials ready. I also intend to arrive early to double-check tech setups and classroom tools—something that resonated with me after reading Kevin’s post. Lastly, I want to build in a little buffer time at the start of class for unanticipated issues, as Braeden mentioned. These small changes can have a big impact on classroom flow and student engagement.
Has anyone found a good digital tool or app that helps with creating and tracking checklists for teaching?
