In the Planning and Preparation module, I learned that the instructional component includes the course curriculum, a course outline, goals, and objectives. Learning activities such as labs ought to be well prepared in advance and described in a well-developed syllabus, the operating manual of the course. The syllabus should answer many students' questions by helping them understand the expectations and outcome clearly. The teaching environment sets the tone for how students perceive me as the instructor and the course. Having a checklist helps the instructor feel comfortable that he is covering all the critical items as intended. I will make sure always to have a notepad to keep up with all students' needs that arise during class.
Preparation is essential in setting the tone for what the students should expect from the course. Making the students feel welcomed, developing a sense of community, and establishing accountability are crucial for success.
It is important to be well prepared prior to the start of class, in order for the students to understand what is expected of them.
set the tone from the first day of class
Take the time to get to know your students, find a way to relate
It is important to make sure that my course outline is solid. In others words, that it really reflects what you want the student to learn, when you want to cover the topics, your expectations from the students, how you are going to cover the materials, clear and precise objectives and goals.
Always be prepared and set the tone for the clas.
Always be prepared for class, will show professionalism.
Its important to take notes on what is going on . along with following all guidelines
Taking the time to welcome your students and get to know them by name will make a huge impact in the class on a postiive way
I learned that lecturing can tranfer knowledge but it cannot tranfer skills. because of that, it will be important organizing your goals folowing the roadmap strategy; which will allow you and your students to reach them in the fastest, safest, and quickest way possible.
Preparatin is key in helping you student to be successful
I enjoy greeting students as they come in. I have already seen their transcripts and know their grades and attendance issues. I have read notes written by other insturctors and have an idea of the type of student that is coming in. I believe in a clean slate. Each new class is a new start. By having prepared in advance with a syllabus and to do list, it gives my students the structure and expectations for the class.
Being prepared is an important part to successful teaching.
My key take away were preparation and setting tones/expectations. I know there is a curriculum set up but I like the idea of making it my own course while still following the course outline. Not everyone learns the same way so it will be interesting to see how the class learns and reacts and of course I will also have to adapt.
The ABCD Model is truly effective for designing a learning experience:
Instructional objectives should include four components in order to be effective for both your students and you. Take into consideration components A through D:
- A-Audience. Who are the targeted individuals? You need to have a clear understanding of the entrance knowledge and skills your students possess upon entering your course.
- B-Behavior. What is it you want the students to do? What is the balance between knowledge and skill development that is required?
- C-Condition. What are the rules for their performance? Will they work in the lab, out in the field, with notes, references, or will all work be done through memory?
- D-Degree. What is the level of proficiency required? Will a 70 percent skill level work for your course or does the field require 100 percent proficiency?

Planning before teaching, making sure you have enough handouts for the anticipated number of students. The classroom is reserved for YOU, there has not been double booking with another class.
All your ducks are lined up in a row.
The key to going from a good teacher to a great teacher is preparation.
Be prepared for all potential situations
Prior Proper Planning. This lesson taught me that being prepared starts with the development of the syllabus. What I am taking away from this course is that I need to study the syllabus, dig into the teaching strategy I want to use, ensure I have the classroom materials and get to know my students before they arrive. I can make sure my individual classes have checklists so that I don't forget any of the material that needs to be taught.
