Activity
Staying prepared ahead of time by being organized, professional, and ready for each lesson, whether it’s online or in person. Taking time to practice demonstrations and making sure all video materials are clear and easy to follow.
Always practice demonstrations before class. Be creative about the way you present information will support retention of important points.
Meeting the class for the first time sets the tone for the course. I was reminded that everyone has nerves and anxiety related to the first day of class.
I learned that coming in even a few minutes earlier than I usually do will help better prepare for unexpected changes. Additionally, a well-structured plan ensures course goals are met and facilities a smooth learning environment.
I was reminded how important it is to keep in mind your instructional style, this involves one's personality and competencies into a presentation format.
