A good teacher needs to be flexible and have other options when needed during instruction.
always have a plan B try to keep students engaged
I have learned that before a lecture you should always plan out what you will be talking about. Break dow your topic into sectiong to help them understand you better. Always have a plan B incase you have to re-direct a topic. Give a pre quiz and see where your students are at and then decide where you want to start teaching from.
I like to have a plan B and flexible time to cover each topic as needed. Every class is different and this method provides a great templet and a flexible teaching format.
Class doesn't always go as smoothly as we'd like so always having a backup plan is essential to be fully prepared for each day.
Whem lecturing you may want to take frequent breaks to keep your class intersted. Put them in study groups.
Having a plan B is extremely important. Not all students have the pre-requisits to go into the material you are teaching. Pretests may be helpful in setting a bench mark with each student.
how to effectively manage your classroom time, how to handle incresingly restless students, and importance of a pretest.
I love the idea of pretesting. I have done something similiar in the past and it does help give direction for instrcuting the class.
Be open to adapt and change to plan B is essential.
This segment focuses on real-time assessments of student's learning of material. I already do real-time assessments but now I have tools to help the students with issues of content. I do not teach a theory course but if I did, I could always have the students complete a pretest to help understand their deficiencies.
The strategies that czan be used when there is not enough instructional material for the class period was very helpful. Planning a week ahead allow the instructor to begin using that material to fil the class time an does not leave the students sitting around with nothing to do.
Having a plan"B" may be the same material but a different approach.
Addressing the learners needs and assessing the material for comphrenshion
make your plan give it a shot see how it goes have back up ready to run go over plan A and adjust it as needed find a way to make it more relateable
What I have learned from this module is that if one teaching method doesn't work, adapt. Move on to another, maybe more interactive way of presenting material. You don't know how a particular class is going to perceive the material. What works for one class may not work for another. Be willing to switch it up with a Plan B.
Using pretest to assess background experience, knowledge and understanding of the material.
As an educator you will need tobe able to adapt in the moment and recognize engaged and non engaged students.
Having a Plan B is very important. Also loved the idea of handing out the 3x5 cards to perform a quick status assessment.
Always have a plan B ready and use assesments to gauge the students knowledge before class begins.
