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.
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.

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.
