I have learned to prepare early in all acspects of the lesson, most importantly prior. I need to make sure I know how what to teach the subject matter, how to keep and inform students of the timeline and expectations as well learning the students on the fly and with dedicated preperation.
Thank you,

Being organized gives the students a sense of trust in your ability to teach and guide them
IT's best to come in prepared
First impressions are EVERYTHING. No one wants to learn from someone they do not feel comfortable around or that do not appear to have the knowledge that they are hoping to recieve
Understanding the institutions cirriculum, your course within the cirriculum and the course outline as your master plan
"instructor as a person".
Greet students warmly, try to make them comfortable by introduing myself and making an effort to know their names.
Mutual respect should always be observed in and out of the classroom.
post it notes and note pads - my best friends!
Have a checklist, get to know your students, have a plan
I've learned to welcome the students by making the classroom comfortable and inviting and getting to know them. To lay out all the course objectives using components A through D as a guide, have a detailed, and easy-to-understand syllabus, setting goals, and relating them to the objectives set.
Have a notepad to write down notes or follow ups for particular students.
Checklist helps organnization
Class preparation
There are several instructional componets, that can make your teaching experience and your students learning experience very gradifying.
Currucula, course , outline,, lesson plan, goal, objectives, resources, syllabus, assessments are all important for teaching and learning.
Make sure the the goals are student directed and student driven.
Early panning is the key to successfull teaching and learning.
Prior preparation prevents poor performance.
Using a checklist to help an instructor to stay on task and organized.
Always be prepared, make a check list
All students have basic human needs of comfort, security and acceptance.
I like the idea of getting there a half hour early, particularly with my target audience. I will only have a week with them. Great way to make opportunity for relationship, questions, networking, etc
The syllabus is a contract and operating manual for the course.
Come in early and spend time mingling with students. Get to know them.
As a new instructor this module gave me so many great ideas. The best tip was to work backwards from the assessment to make sure you are covering all of the important informationan.
