Ask a question from your peers to help you in your professional work. Seek different points of view on a topic that interests you. Start a thought-provoking conversation about a hot, current topic. Encourage your peers to join you in the discussion, and feel free to facilitate the discussion.

Inadequate background

I have experienced many instances of students who have inadequate background it is helpful to be aware of options to offer these students such as student learning groups, a pretest, offering study guides, referral to other resources, and individual help.

Meida choices

It is important to use a variety of mediums to present course information to keep students attention, reach a all types of learner, and visual strategies are most important in learning and retention of information.

Personaltiy traits

It is important to develop insight about personality attributes to understand how specific traits can influence students in both negative and positive ways. An effective teacher should continually assess strengths and weaknesses to accommodate the changing group dynamics with each new class/group of students.

Lesson Planning

One of the biggest concerns for me is making sure I have a complete lesson plan that not only encompasses the time in class, but also has some extra material in case we get through a lecture or activity early.

Assessments

How often should assessments be given to students if a class is 4 days a week - 4 hours a day?

Pre-tests

I have been giving my students pre-tests since I began teaching. They have been very helpful in guiding me to put more emphasis on the areas that they are not as strong in.

Teaching Style

I had never really thought about my teaching style before. This section really gave me something to think about and reflect on. As well as giving me a direction to go in. I never reralized I was a statue instructor and I personally don't care for those types of instructors.

Effective lesson plan

Preparation or creating a lesson plan, one should decide what to to be added in the lesson plan, is this material going to be effective on students and how much knowledge students going to gain out of it.

shobha mohammed

importance of lesson plan

Lesson plan is a outcome of course what it contains. Projects, class works, home works assignments and their dead line and date of the quizzes and tests as well. So basically lesson plan is a very essential for instructors. At the same time lesson plan helps instructors to figure out how much material or note to put together as per the class timings.

Deciding what to teach

Lesson plan is very important for instructors. Lesson plan clarifies teaching and learning very clearly. Students will understand what they are going to learn and for teachers, they can collect the teaching material in advance and teach step by step.
