It is important for you to set the stage for the class, how it is run, what the students can expect. Also, to build rapport with your class and to give them the opportunity to build rapport with eachother.
In this module, I've learned the positive first impression on the first day of the class, arrive early and greet the students with a smile while entering your class.
Introduction of the students and yourself including nicknames and pronunciation. Students feel better about themselves and their education when an authority figure remembers their name. Create notecards if needed to help remember that information.
I learned that it is important for me to greet every student at the door and introudude myself first before starting any clerical stuff about the class.
It helped identified what informatioin needed for an effective teaching class
It is important to learn each student by name.
