To have goals, make sure the syllabus is well developed and to have an inviting enviroment to learn in.
While watching this short clip I was making notes of what I need...:)
I like the idea of a checklist, especially in a day where I will be teaching for 6 hours
Having a effective Syllabus is a great
way to have a clear understanding of what to expect
in the course and brings orginization.
It is important to familiarize yourself with students,be prepared and continue to review the course objectives.
Make sure students understand that a syllabus is a contract between an instructor and a student. This not only holds the student responsible, but it also holds the instructor responsible for the student when the instructor deviates from the syllabus.
Make sure your objectives are detailed about what is required from a section of learning. It also gives the course organization and structure.
EARLY PLANNING IS A KEY to have students respect you and the learning process.
Being prepared and consistent with teaching students. Planning ahead of time to efficiently teach the course to students.
Goals are like roadmaps because there are many different ways of getting from one point to another. The key is to get to your destination the quickest, safest, and most direct way. That is what a goal is like. When writing course goals use the road map example to make them clear and direct.
know your abc of planning and perparing
make all students accountable learn to know them personally and professionally
Thorough preparation and professional competency at all levels is the optimum solution to achieving one's goals and objectives in teaching the course. This module reinforces what should be for a teacher the intuitive obvious.
Being prepared by making sure you have all the supplies and equipment available and having a note pad available to jot down things that are important.
This Module encouraged me to explore the course content and objectives ahead of time to prepare. I read how important it is for me to read and understand what the content is saying so that I understand it in a way to be prepared to explain to the the students.
Preparation is essential throughout the duration of the class/instructing period.
I feel the course was quite helpful, as I have been out of teaching for a while. It refreshed my memories as to certain things that are important and reminded me to always have a notepad, and always have boundaries, yet stay helpful.
Setting the tone in classroom settings. Allowing students to understand who you are as a person. Always keeping a notepad handy.
One thing I took learned from the planning/preparations segment was that the teaching environment is important and arriving early and being prepared sets the tone/environment for the class.
The more detail you can give in a syllabus the better. It is a contract between you and the students. The more you prepare the better you will feel. Always keep a notepad handy.
Arrive early, to prepare and greet students.
Propper planning and checklists will ensure an easier and productive lesson
