I need to improve my lessons plans and incooperated the nhands-on skills portion.

I need to organize my lesson plans and corrdinate the lecture better with the hands-on skills

It's important to get to know your student and the students get to know you.  Always let the students know what is expected og them in the classroom.  Make lists!

Students need to be lead by example.  Instructors start this be being prepared for the lecture, whether using visual or audio aids.  It is highly recommend to arrive priot to the students to ensure the materials needed for the class are available.  

I like to put the agenda for the day's lecture and activities on the board.  I believe this helps to show the students that the instructor is prepared for lessons following the goals and objectives of the classromm syllabus.

• Preparing for class is essential!  In the classroom/lab, instructors need to ensure that materials need for the class is available, lesson plans are prepared for the topic of the day, powerpoints are prepared, etc.
• Arrive before the students so that you may greet them
• Make sure the students understands the goals and objectives of the class by following the course syllabus and course outline.

I feel there are many aspects that have been discussed.  Mostly, students must learn not only their hard (techincal) skills but als the spft skills.  Instructors should show daily the different aspect of professionalism.  Students must learn by example.
