I really  like the idea of having the students watch the recorded lecture and then come to class with 3 things they learned and 1 muddy point.  We use a ticket to class that they are encouraged to complete while watching the recorded lecture but we can not make it a requirement so of course some students do not complete the TTC. Maybe having them identify 3 things they have learned might have greater compliance and having them identify a topic they could use more explanation on benefits them.

I like the comment in the IBL lesson that addresses  how instructors need to consider how comfortable THEY are with the teaching  method. I think this is a good point because an instructor may choose to not use a strategy if they do not feel like they fully grasp how the strategy should be applied. I also liked how UBD has the instructor think of the outcome first and work backwards. I think this is a very helpful concept and I plan to utilize this when completing my lesson plans.

Helpful informations to increase my communication skills with my students.

Modeling will demonstrate importance in the students!

Show up 1/2 hour early to class to prepare the classroom for instructional needs and greet the students. Keep a notepad handy to jot down notes and ideas.  

I learned to continue my professional development to grow as an instructor and in the course and myself. Additionally, practice, practice, practice. 

Sharing information about yourself is just as important as the students sharing information about themselves. Opening the floor to the feeling of being known by name generates teacher-student respect. 

Set the tone early, that will dictate and predicate how the rest of the classes go.

preparation perpetuates the perception of professionalism

learning how to convey enthusiasm for the subject/lesson
