Making a positive first impression with students on the first day of class is important. Having a list of things to get done in preparing for the class will help to be effective and efficient in the efforts of completing daily activities. The students will appreciate the value of the learning experience when the instructor discusses the importance of the course content as it relates to their future careers. At the end of the first class, students need to feel comfortable about their ability to succeed in the course and about continued progress toward their career goals.
I learned that greeting the students as they enter the classroom is helpful in getting to know the students as well as giving the students a positive experience to learning.
First day of class give the student a overview on how that out come of the class should be.
I belive it is very important to get to know each student
Using student name badges and making sure that they are always visible will be a great way to remember student's names
It reminded me the importance of MODELING, MANAGING, MOTIVATING during the firt day of class. I agree with that, however I believe that the 3M's strategy should be applied every day in your class activities.
THe course help teachers to navigate and prepare before startng as a navice or verteran teacher .
The course serve as a guide to help in navigating classroom and students .
First impressions is key. Not only should the atmosphere be inviting but students need to feel welcomed. Greeting students at the beginnig of class allows you to get to know your students and help ease their anxiety.
Communication with students, and getting to know them will help best encourage them to learn the material being presented
It is important to get to know your students and vice versa all while establishing your position as an instructor. In order for students to want to learn they have to feel comfortable with myself as well as the other students.
I like the 4 goals that students should feel before they depart the first day of class:
Here is what you want your students to have at the end of their first class meeting.
- 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.

I teach a cohort that has been together for 8 months already. My first class has 65 to 70 students, I have them for 5 or 6 sessions, impossible to learn all their names. I do attendance and concentrate on saying their names properly from a paper roll. I make notes about pronunction on it so next week I get it correct.
Take time to know that students as well as letting them know a little bit about you.
It is important to introduce yourself and allow students to introduce themselves.
I learned how to have the classroom prepared so that when the students start arriving I can greet them and start to get to know them from the beginning. I also learned some exercises to help them get to know each other and also to get to know me.
It's important to do an ice breaker and get to know something about your students as well as letting them something about you. Also, to discuss the flow of class and term.
I love the idea of learning student's name as this bring value to the relationship between teacher and student - the foundation of which acadmic success can be acheived.
Students should leave the class having a sense of comfort about having a successful outcome from the course.
