I learned it is important to learn each student's name and to use those ideas given if it is too difficult. Taking the time to learn their names shows them you care and are invested in them.
I do understand and agree that “I want to know what my students have learned during my class and now what did they learned the night before as they were preparing for my class.”
Setting the tone from the beginning is important. Introduce yourself and allow students to do the same. Set the expectation for the course so students know what to expect.
The module was very informative. I have been a clinical instructor for many years and this gave me some new ideas.
Learning student names as well as any nicknames or alternate names that they prefer is important in making them feel confortable in the classroom.
I learned to make the student feel comfortable and let them know what to expect on the first day of the course.
Intruducting self and asking about students to get them know better.
To ask each students name and to find out about them to determine the way i will teach the class
Introduce myself, allow students to introduce themselves and learn to correctly pronounce their names.
Having students leave the classroom with a sense of secureness and feeling as if their time was well vested is the best feeling.
make sure the students feel like you actually care about what you're presenting and their success, be human, and have them leave the first class with an understanding of where they're going and how they're going to get there.
Goals are needed and should be listed in the syllabus.
Pay attention to the introduction of students. This may give some valuable insight as to their REAL background and/limitations of experience. Very important because you may discover that the student is unfamiliar with course content. I learned this the hard way.
Introduction of the instructor to the students and the students to the instructor will add a feeling of comfort that will lead to appreaciation, expectation and the potential rewards that the student will leave with the first day in your class.
I already do a lot of these things on the first day of class so this does help reinforce that what I'm doing should be continued. I do like the idea of discussing how class time will be spent so students will have less uncertainty the next time we meet.
I have learned to engage my students in every aspect of learning from the moment they step into mu class room
ensure that everyday ends with
- A sense of where they’re going and how they’ll get there.
- A feeling that the other members of the class are not strangers.
- An awareness that you care about their learning.
- An expectation that the course will be both valuable and enjoyable
Steps in learning your students names and how important it is to you and your students
motivating the students, appretiation of the value of the learning experience,expectation of success,belief that performance is related to rewards
Know your students as they know you.
I would definitely implement the use of index card to know my students name, contact info and what they're expectations are throughout the course.
Healthy learning environment should be set during the first class.
