This module really stood out for me the importance of being prepared and on time for the students
Arriving early to your class allows time to ensure you are prepared to meet the students, interact with everyone and keep a note pad to ensure nothing is missed and questions are answered at the end of class.
being prepared is a key into a successful class
Good, to be ready early for labs and talk to students before class starts.
Basically, this module stresses the importance of utilizing and keeping top-notch organization skills for the class you will teach. Extensive preparation is essential to be successful. Know the students needs and names, come to class early, have the class prepped for well in advance, have a very concise syllabus. Keeping a notepad nearby at all times will keep your thoughts organized throughout the day to not forget anything important.
I've learned the relevance of curriculum and applying it to the classroom discussion on a solid timeline
To be more prepared and make sure I have everything I need for class. To have a notebook handy at all times, for supply lists, reminders of things coming up.
Organization and being prepared is key!
Creating a checklist of what you are covering will help make sure you actually convey all the info you need to get through in a class.
With the teaching environment, putting yourself in the student's perspective is a great idea.
Accurate planning of your course translated into your syllabus not only lays a solid foundation of being prepared, it also dictates to the student what they are about to be taught within taking your class. Also, goals and and set accomplishments to reach them are pathways to ensure great success in transfer of knowledge to students.
Being prepared and having a clear knowledge of your curriculum will set you up for success with your teaching.
