In this module, I have learned that it's really important to be prepared for before meeting/instructing your students. You can use tools such as having a checkbox prior to class or clinicals which would in turn help alleviate anxiety prior to starting.
In this module, I learned the importance of planning my lessons and classroom ahead of time. I learned that a classroom must have certain qualities for students to increase their academic learning and every detail becomes a variable that will affect their learning experience.
How to plan and deliver critical information to the students.
Purposeful planning, practicing presence.
I have learned as a new instructor to come to class early, be prepared and get to know your students by knowing their names. Planning is key. Checklist is very important so as not to miss the most important and critical contents of your class.
I have learned to have objectives for each course that we teach, be prepared, do not be afraid to have notes in front of you, have clear expectations on what they will learn and take away from the class. Come in early and to get settled and say good morning to the students.
It is always good to keep like a mini notepad or index cards for key points and reminders in cases when you may miss a topic or add a topic. It is always better to be overprepared than under.
A checklist is important, so you don't overlook things to prep for a class, and the checklist can be used to make quick notes if needed.
I learned about the importance of objective and the syllabus being concise.
A good strategy for developing a good course outline is to begin with clear learning goals and organize the material in a logical sequence. The outline should include objectives, topics, assignments, assessments, and timelines so students understand expectations and can follow the course step by step.
I learned the importance of leading students with the objectives of each class session. Failure to do so may result in students feeling disconnected from the learning experience and hinder their ability to apply knowledge outside of the classroom settings.
Having clear objectives and expectations just makes everything run smoother. Students know what they’re working toward, and it helps avoid confusion so everyone stays on the same page from the start
Clear goals and objectives are crucial. Also, having a prepared check list for each class helps me as the instructor to not miss any point I put in the goals and objectives.
learned how important objectives are to students in various ways
Learned about setting expectations for the students and making sure they know what to do in order to be successful.
I have learned that preparation for a class is very important. It set the tone for the rest of the teaching session or even the course. How things are presented is crucial therefore the instructor needs to plan ahead and make sure they will be effective. The instructor needs to make use of all the resources available to them in preparation for teaching a class.
I learned the importance of interaction with your students. Also, the importance of inviting different types of teaching into teaching and its impact.
Comment on Mayra Gonzales's post: I agree this is important as it shows the students you are ready and prepared.
Setting goals, planning ahead of time and being clear with the objectives and what the students should expect is what I took out of this course. The importance of dividing the course up in to logical units will be a focus. Arriving early is crucial in showing the students that you are prepared for the day.
