I agree that coming in early and talking with students sets a positive tone and helps both students and instructor feel comfortable.
Its is important to create a good syllabus as it is a contract between you and your students. Allows clarity and expectations of the class and displays its goals.
Gives guidelines for the students to follow
Hold yourself to the same standard you hold your students to. Always be prepared and on-time, if you are not prepared or on-time how can you expect your students to be?
preparation is the key. knowing what needs to be taught, what will be tested, and how far into the curriculum I am to go is essential for the teaching to be done at my school. I am also one of those teachers who goes through the entire classroom, asking each student why this particular career field. Once that is accomplished, I share my life story as to how I became to be a vocational instructor standing before them.
Class starts well before students enter the room. The more prepared we are the better model we will be for our students. Come in the day before to prep your room and our last minute updates. For the instructor being on time is 30 minutes early. Great students, have music playing, laugh with them, get to know them.
Take a walk around your classroom/laboratory and try to get a feel for the setting from the students’ perspective.
Planning and preparation are essential parts of the teaching and learning process. They set the tone of the course as well as show your students how you are professionally,
It is important to keep notes or a checklist to ensure you have covered all necessary materials. It is just as important to be prepared for class so that you can relax and teach the topics.
Share the overarching goals and objectives with the class on day 1, so that everyone feels clear on what they'll be doing in class.
Successfully, instructors prepare for the course by arriving early, reviewing the syllabus, and preparing materials and the classroom or lab.
Being prepared before class starts is key to making sure the classroom functions and learns as it is supposed to.
Preparing early is very important regardless of your years of teaching experience. The course syllabus should be thorough.
I am the first impression of my students; be on time, be professional, be prepared, and respectful
It is very beneficial to make a checklist and to have a note pad handy to make notes so you keep jot down things that need obtained or handled for students as well as yourself.
I don't like the term checklist but rather an outline of what you will be doing. This helps you structure your time in each lesson.
create course outline, syllabus, and hold students accountable in classroom. set rules. Know objectives
What I took away from this module is that preparation is KEY. Since I will be the model for my students in the demonstrations of my actions during class time, it is also important to be able to prepare a syllabus of the items that will be targeted in discussion and throughout the course. It gives structure and stability with the teacher and student.
It is important to set clear guidelines for the expectations and evaluation of your course by providing students with a well prepared syllabus. It is also especially important to be well prepared and organized for your course including adequate materials, inviting learning environment.
