In this module I've learned that having a clear and descriptive syllabus is important when delivering expectations to the class about the course. Being prepared and early will help you early on when meeting your first class.
Having a syllabus that explains what the course will be about and what the students can expect from the course will help ease students anxiety.
planning, preparing, and arriving early will help decrease anxiety and nervousness on for the instructor and help students have more confidence in a well prepared instructor.
The importance of having a syllabus that is direct and transparent. Students should know what to expect in the classroom.
Planning and preparation are key factors in setting the tone for your students and their learning.
This lesson reminded us that goals and objectives are the foundation on which your teaching is built.
I've learned that it's not only smart to prepare for the day, but it really is very essential to teaching. And even as a teacher, you are also still learning. Having a professional development plan is beneficial to self-improvement and growth in the field.
We Learned what Instructional Objectives are, and the 4 components that make them effective, also how to create a class syllabus, and what it should contain to be well prepared, and show your students you take your teaching seriously.
Failure to plan is planning to fail. The path to success is paved with planning and preparation. We as educators owe our students clear guidance.
I liked the example of talking one on one before class. i think that shows youre not just there to punch a clock. It also helps everyone feel more comfortable. I like the idea of having a syllabus reviewed by a more experienced instructor
Being prepared and early for class sets the atmosphere for success. Take mental and physical notes to see what the classroom and students needs are.
Planning and preparation are very important factors for a successful outcome with your class!
The key to success in teaching is all about the planning and preparation.
Preparation and engagement are critical to reaching a desired outcome. Subject matter and information can be referenced much easier when a syllabus is used.

Also, being human and personable is just as important at being knowledgeable.
Organization is key for a successful teacher. Also being present and showing you care.
Taking the time to learn materials that are being present is extremely essential to be a successful instructor. One must be very organized.
One thing I took away from this topic is that effective teaching begins long before the students enter the classroom. Taking the time to plan lessons, organize materials, and set clear expectations helps create a structured learning environment.
I didn't just learn this as i am returning to education after a 3yr break, but A meet and greet as they enter is a great tool and definatly set the tone of good mood, care & positivity with enforcment of expectations like dress code, attitude, and proffesionalism . and the syllabus sets up the agreement that everyone should adhere to.
