Learning all the students names on day-1 is very important. I am fortunate that I am very good at this! Students really value knowing that I made an effort from the first day to know them individually and make them feel important, and that they are "not just another number".
I have larned how important it is to make sure that students feel comforable and motivated to learn.
It is important to remember that we set the tone for the class as well as the day. I will be engaging and welcoming to my students on the first day to make sure they feel welcomed. I also like the idea of using a checklist to make sure that everything is discussed and nothing left out.
Be prepared. Provide a safe environment. Learn students names. Allow for interaction between students.
It is important for the class and the teacher to get to know each other to not feel like strangers. It is also important to set expectations on the first day.
get the class engaged let them know about yourself while you learn about them at the same time
"You have a higher probability of something coming up to you during class if you are prepared the night before". As instructors, we want students to take the time to prepare beforehand so you are challenging them to apply that knowledge to create meaningful connection between knowledge and what they are learning in class that day.
Be at the door, head heart and gut intro yourself then students write your name and class on board point to it give overview set up how you will teach teach them how to prepare for class motivate by appreciation expectation. Important what they learn today not yesterday.3 ms are modeling managing and motivation use 3 by 5 for intros After 1st day of class need to know where they are going, not strangers anymoredont rush matter if not completed its okayDont be a pal Plan for teaching finally remind them of their final goal frequently. dilipdivecha@gmail.com
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.
