Ensure to incorporate multiple content delivery methods in order to accommodate different learning styles of students
It's important to learn each student by their preferred name. Also, we should strive to learn a little bit about each of our students.
I learned when developing and delivering lesson plans, I need to be mindful of the ways in which my students are more apt to retain information and cater to those learning styles to the best of my ability.
Acting like a professional along side your peers and in front of your students. Personal growth and development are very important to become a better instructor. Learning is not teaching.
Be prepared! Review content before class. Arrive early to be able to receive students and welcome them. Keep a notepad to jot down action items and things you need to do for students.
I learned the importance of a well thought out introduction of myself to my new students as well as allowing the students the opportunity to introduce themselves.
As an instructor, it is essential that I display professionalism to my students at all times. Equally important is engagement: ensuring the students know I love my subject area, and that I care for them!
I have learned that planning and preparation are essential steps in the process of transferring knowledge to students. I plan to ensure I'm covering all my bases as an instructor outside the classroom so that I am fully prepared to give my students the best educational experience possible while inside the classroom.
Everyone does not learn the same. It is important to make sure you are using different teaching styles.
Use different assessments depending on amount of course content.
