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.
It is important to include your students when setting the goals for the class
I've learned about showing the students that you are human, with outside interests and hobbies. It's important to get to know their hobbies and interests as well and establish a good rapport on common ground. Getting to know why they are interested in the topic, and what gets them excited about the topic is key, and a great way to start your first day! It's important to remember their name, and get them acquainted comfortably with the rest of the class using various methods like counting off and small groups.
Its important to cover basic things during the first day of class to help set expectations and allow students to feel like they will be successful.
Arrive early, greet evenyone, learn names and go over Syllabus, policies and expectations.
Getting to know your sudent.
I would like to apply this by making sure students leave their first day with a sense of comfort and ease. I'd like to learn one new thing about them so that I can better understand their background and build a strong foundation with them. I would also like them to feel like they can always come to be with any questions or concerns and show them that I care about them all indivudually and their success.
Great tips on how to remember names of the class!
Taking a moment to greet each student and learn their names tends to net a greater sense of connectivity and mutual respect that enhances the learning environment.
Greet your students, and learn atleast their name.
It is very important to give students an overview of the class and what to expect, so everyone is on the same page going forward.
Create an information exchange to connect students to the learning process.
Make yourself human to your students. Let them know your credentials, but let them know you too.
Some great ideas for ice breakers that will also help remember names
The way you start your class can clearly set the tone and I have always felt better about an instructor when they take the time to introduce themselves, spend time getting to know their audience/ group and give a clear outline of the day and course materials they will be reviewing.
Learn each students name, give a brief overview of yourself, say something personal like "I like to hike " etc.
Make sure your pronounce each student's name correctly! I remember an instructor that never got my name correct-after 2 years in her program!!
What i take away from this module is that preparation is again very important. It is also critical to be early, start on time, and be clear. Class introductions can be done many ways and most students are nervous to introduce themselves, yet this is an important part of classroom management and group dynamics that ultimately benefit the class.
It is important to introduce yourself and let them know "a little background about yourself". Always be personable.
