From this module it has me thinking of my future classes, and how I can better prepare students for upcoming material. This can be providing learning opportunities outside of the course along with providing demonstrations or pre-work to help them engage before they interact with the material.
In this module I learned the importance of creating a classroom environment that promotes students from day one to be engaged with the class along feel comfortable on how to interact with new content.
Within the module the same discussion about preparation is made, but one of the most important things that I gained from this module was to really review the syllabus, and make sure that the correct rules, procedures, and policies are in the syllabus as it will serve as your anchor for the year.
I think what I took from this module is the importance of being prepared. Being able to effectively teach starts with the background work that is done along with clear goals of how we are instructors can improve throughout our teaching career.
Connecting with students is a combination of academic and awareness of the emotional state of class and individual students. Developing rapport with your students help them to not be afraid to fail.
When putting your course and demonstration in order, gives students a good ideal of what will be taught and learned.
starting a new class can lead to anxiety and to reduce this, put your student a ease. Talk to them, ask and receive questions. by giving a brief statement what and will be learn in your course will go a long way.
Plan, prpeare, execute. Planning before, duringand after class, is a great model to follow. Know your student, and know what mood is best for your class, and set the mood that you wish to achieve.
I have had the pleasure with working with Teens. They don't care how much you know, till they know how much you care.Comment on Michael Sliman's post:
In this module, I observed that we as instructors have more than one roll in the classroom. I have personally experienced these rolls in the classroom, but understand that these are all normal and just apart of my roll.
