I really liked the idea of different colored handouts. Also reflecting on how I can make the students comfortable.
Known the subject being teach, will give an idea how the class will respond, if its boring the attention will go away, but if making interesting , allowing the students to participate, they will be focus and busy.
Be prepared and and ready for class by having materials ready.
It's always helpful to be reminded that the goal is (student) learning, not teaching!
It is important to be organized and ready for each class. This is a way to teach students professionalism.
In the classroom, it is important to come in prepared. If you come in a mess with papers flying, you distract your students and delay learning start times. Come in early, and prepared.
Large group field trips may be impractical and difficult. Perhaps an assignment to study, interview or tour a facility would help students build networks, and become familiar with the local industry. This could even be a step in the interview process.
Having guest speakers, taking field trips, and keeping your classroom organized keeps the students engaged.
I have learned that being prepared and coming to class can really impact students. I also learned how to overcome my natural shyness at first. I also learned that it is important to be engaged with the learners and take some self reflection when teaching.
I realized my focus has been more on the instruction of the subject matter than it has on being the "leader" of the class.
I'd like to look further into going on field trips or bringing in speakers to help give our students a well rounded approach.
Organization is probably the most important aspect. Having a plan before class begins is of the utmost importance.
Utilizing different colored handouts for multiple forms, especially at the beginning of the year can be helpful. Additionally, creating observation sheets for field trips can keep the students focused and engaged.
Preparation and knowing your students are key factors in being a successful teacher.
Coming to class before students, being ready, pleasant, and well prepared is of upmost importance.
There are many types of teaching styles . Being prepared and early, ready to greet the students in the classroom will help the instructor gain the students respect.
Reflecting on the instructors of my own past and figuring out the positives from each one and if I can implement some of each one in my own style. Also being sure to be organized and prepared with handouts early for each class.
The more I know about myself and learn/observe my students, the better my teaching will be. Preparation and organization inside the classroom is key.
It is always good to review this type of instruction. Great reminders to improve the weak points and strengthen the strong ones
how to establish teaching styles, how to keep students interested in subject matter.
