2 way learning is the best practice for engagement and the syllabus helps the student understand expectations and outcomes.
I like the idea of having a checklist as to not forget anything important in class.
Preparation equals success. A prepared instructor is a confident instructor who has the ability to meet the students' needs and expectations because he or she is not second-guessing himself or herself.
PREPARE! Have writing utensil handy for notes/ checklists. Get to know your class group... ease the nervous shows you care.
Students like someone who is prepared.
the importance of planning ahead and being prepared
Accountability, objectives, and preparation.
I have to say preparing in advance along with organization and a backup plan keeps my head from spinning which is a great example for my students.
Setting the tone is an essential component to teaching. I plan to utilize the skill daily
Being newer to teaching, it is helpful to have a checklist with adequate preparation and refer back to the syllabus as that is a contract between the instructor and student
The importance of curriculum writing and planning prior to instruction is something I learned in this module
Coming to class prepared can be the difference between being successful and failing. The use of check list can help to keep you on task and can be used to remind yourself of to do items.
Be very specific and deliberate when creating the Instructional Objectives. Same in regards to the course Syllabus, which should be very detailed and should be given to peers or supervisors for editing, corrections or additions. Finally, use a daily checklist to help yourself feel prepared and avoid missing anything (also, a unique-to-the-day checklist will help you stay on task and hit the points you intend to cover). Take notes if a student needs you to follow up on something, so you don't forget.
Proper preparation will set the tone for your class. It's important to invest time in getting to know your students before class begins and throughout the course.
At the moment, I am covering all different classes, different terms of students (different skill levels), different clinical sites. Learning their names is near impossible, but I feel it's important, so they feel important, so I keep trying.
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?
I have learned that having a checklist is an essential part of preparation for the first day of class to ensure all critical materials are covered.
I learned that the syllabi is more than just outlining what a course will present to the students and what the students should expect to get from the course. The syllabi also sets standards for student behavior by how professional it is presented, and reinforces what is expected of the student passively.
I’ve learned that it’s important to be prepared and organized to maximize student outcomes.
Course preparation is integral to student learning. It gives students and the instructor a clear picture of course objectives, student learning outcomes, logical progression of content, and insight into application.
Proper planning and preparation gives the students expectations and they know exactly what to expect and what classes will be going over so it’s super important to be prepared and on time and all the times
