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
Being prepared, going over what you'll teach the night before, having everything you need prior to class start time.
Ensure the learning environment is inviting. The students will learn based on the environment and my personality.
Be sure all objectives and expectations are outlined in the course blueprint, including resources and references to maximize studen engagement and learning.
being prepared keeps everyone accountable.
"The learning environment sets the tone for how the students perceive you and the course you teach. A comfortable and inviting classroom/laboratory sets the tone for the students as they start the class." I felt this statement best describes the importance of having a well-outlined course with clear and obtainable objectives. The perception of each student is created differently. Ensuring that each student perceives the course as you intended is essential.
a detailed outline of what is expected, what will be learned, and how to gauge what was learned is beneficial to the teacher and students.
Arrive early, be prepared, have your lesson plan, review the objectives of the class. And always have in mind the ABCD of instruction
This module informs instructors on the importance of planning and preparation to set yourself and your students up for success. I will start to look and learn for any and all opportunities to develop and improve these skills through colleagues and institutional resources and materials.
