Effective Teaching Strategies --> Planning and Preparation
Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
I learned that effective teaching starts with strong planning and preparation. Having clear objectives, organized materials, and a well-structured lesson helps the class run smoothly and keeps students focused. I also think it is important to arrive early, make sure technology and classroom materials are ready, and have a backup plan in case something does not work as expected. I plan to apply this by preparing each lesson in advance, using a checklist, and regularly reviewing what worked well and what I can improve for the next class.
Greeting students, having a complete and organized syllabus, check list and objectives are all important items/skills needed to be successful as an instructor.
Preparation is key. Arriving early to greet students and get a feel for the temperature of the room is a good recipe for success once instruction is to begin.
I believe it is important to be prepared for your class each and every day. I believe the students can sense when the instructor is not prepared and it can make for a difficult class.
Punctual in class, know your syllabus, topic for the day, calm and accomodating are the keys for a great learning environment.
I like coming to class early and prepared, plan ahead is my thing and makes me feel comfortable in my class. Make my teaching environment more invited and place to learn.
I learned that not only is it important to arrive earlier to class and ensure that everything is prepared properly but to also set a time some prep time at home and create a check list to help you remind yourself the most important topics that needed to be covered.
I learned about
1) Leading by example, clear objectives determined by the syllabus, bemonstations and lecture
I learned the following during this session:
The importance of classroom preparation such as:
- The importance of preparing for class such as keeping checklist when teaching to insure that all pertinent content is covered.
- The appropiateness of the learning environment should be inviting, comfortable and conducive to learning.
Comment on Clark Watson's post: I agree with this post. I've seen both types of professors: those who got too comfortable in their positions and wasted learners' time, and those who showed passion for their profession.
It is important to plan ahead for your classes, to have a plan B if technology fails. Ask colleagues for suggestions and keep a checklist.
it is important that you have a checklist of things to do so i will not forget important task to do
I learned that effective teaching begins with careful planning and preparation. Having clear objectives, organized materials, and a structured plan helps create a better learning experience for students. I intend to apply this by preparing ahead, aligning my activities with the learning objectives, and making sure students have the resources they need to be successful.
I learned about the importance of preparation and planning to make it easier on myself and help the class flow smoothly
i will be early to class. Make sure all materials are set up for any skills activities.
It is valuable to start classes off knowing your plan. Being early/ on time, having all necessary equipment ready by the time students arrive. Discussing clear expectations of the day and involving everyone in all class actives and discussions.
Being prepared is arriving early to greet the students. Have a syllabus prepared and ready for any questions to ensure everyone is on the same page. Set goals for the class and expectations for their results. Use a checklist to make sure you stay on track.
Coming to class early before students arrive and making sure the condition is goo for learning and also preparing for the class myself
Assessing the environment constantly (before, during, and after lessons/class) is important. The suggestion to keep a notepad handy to make notes about needs is something I will likely do myself.
