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.
The take away from this module is the importance of being prepared. Be organized, gather your supplies, and come early. I believe its a good life tool. I believe organization is key. A stressful situation can be avoided by having a plan or check box. This will allow one to remember things that need to be done or talked about. Things happen and sometimes the plan doesn't go as it should; however, having a "plan" can alleviate a lot.
I learned in this course that being prepared and having materials ready to go is going to take you a long way in the classroom and with students.
Planning and prepping make for a smoother delivery of instruction. The syllabus makes for a useful tool in ensuring all areas are being covered and met in a timely manner. It also helps students prepare themselves for what is to come.
Planning and prepping help to manage the class and know the direction that you want your class to have.
This course has shown the importance of planning for your class & how to prepare your students for success through informing them on what this course entails, expectations, & what they will learn/take away.

Clear communication, understanding your student's needs to better help them understand there assignments to be successful in the medical felid.
I like the analogy of building a road map to get to a goal (or objective) along with making a checklist of must cover items for each class.
i learned that we have to be clear and give our objectives to our students and make sure we execute our goal as well. Being prepared is very very important as well.
In this lesson I learned the importance of making a checklist. I know that I am a talker and I will always forget to tell studentents something they need to do for the next class.
In this topic I have learned several things as it pertains to Planning and Preparation for being an instructor. There are many factors in becoming an effective instructor like, knowing how to teach, setting goals, developing a syllabus and having a good teaching environment. As a new instructor I am going to utilize all of the information and instruments given to me during my training and apply that in the classroom. One in particular is to have an inviting learning environment for the students because that sets the tone as for how the students are going to embrace me (the instructor) and the course outline I will be teach them.
It allows everyone to be aligned with the flow of the course subject. This can be applied by clearly understanding what you would like the participants to know.
Preparing for a class of any size is important. Having the information and a detailed plan of the day's activities greatly improves the flow and tone of the day. I will do my best to prepare as it will keep track of what ideas need expressing, how to deliver the information to the audience, and enhance the level of proficiency overall.
creating clear objectives and goals are the road map by which the students will understand the why of the class and how the can be successful in the class.
Good preparation is key to the operations of managing a class. coming in early helps to set up up for success with class mechanics. Greeting students as they come in provides them with the perception that you are ready and eager to start the class and present them with the information that they need.
Effective teaching begins with purposeful planning and preparation. Instructors start by identifying clear learning goals aligned with standards and student needs, then design lessons and assessments that guide students toward those outcomes. This includes choosing engaging strategies, organizing content logically, and connecting new ideas to prior knowledge.
Strong planning also involves anticipating challenges and misconceptions, allowing instructors to adjust instruction and provide support as needed. By aligning objectives, instruction, and assessment, teachers create a focused and supportive learning environment that promotes student success.
I learned that its good to be early and interact with the students before class. This helps ease the nerves of both the students and instructor.
