Choosing a lecture style that best suits the students is more important that choosing a lecture style that I am most comfortable with.
Once I learned about the shorter lectures. I was able to incorporate so much more information, activities, and group work. This makes for a very exciting class time. and I always leave a few minutes for each student to give their take a way for the day.
The more prepared an instructor is, the better they can guide the class through any situation that arises.
Preparation is the key to success when preparing your class. The better prepared you are the more you can lead the class through everything that could come up.
Having a plan for your class demonstrates the behavior we expect from our students. Modeling professional behavior is the most effective way to encourage professional behavior.
As a new instructor, I have learned I must strive the best learning experience for the students by implementing all four types of learning styles so students can succeed in class.
Planning is big part of how your class is going to be that particular day. Utilizing all the resources and demonstrating the lectures will have the students be more engaged.
I learned the importance of proper delivery of the lecture content. Just because a lot of time and care was put into the creation of the lecture, if the delivery isn't up to par, the process was a failure
I learned, when you as an instructor prepared ahead for class, using all the resources available to you, utilizing different methods for delivering the material. Be organized and knowledgeable of the course material you will be presenting to your class.
I learned confidence and the delivery way of each lecture is different on each student, not everybody learns the same way and not everybody studies the same way, to teach and learn different techniques for each student it helps them all to learn the way that is best for them.
Proper preparation is key to delivering an effective lesson to students. Being able to adjust teaching styles will help to maximize the amount of students that retain the information being given.
Do the lecture a discussion get the students involved . Make the class more active .
Practicing or demonstrating topics before lecture or class is a great way to see how things will go.
Engage with your students let them know what our past experiences are and make them feel comfortable
Practical demonstrations and class interaction are extremely important, we bring electrical testing boards into class and use them during lecture for additional hands on and theory application.
Delivery of course content is one of importance aspect of effective teaching to establish student learning, engagement, and success, as it impacts their understanding, motivation and overall learning experience.
Delivery has to be top notch when explaining content to students. In return they will learn the importance of delivery in their career path when working with their peers and leaders. Clear communication and precise information will keep students engaged and motivated to learn. When the instructor brings high energy into the classroom, the students feel the tone being set for the lecture. Developing different delivery styles is important to reach a variety of students in how they learn.
Mini lectures are more effective for retention purposes
Utilizing a teaching outline to help stay on task and breaking down lectures into 10-15 minutes is helpful to keep students engaged and myself organized
I found the 15 min increment in lecture piece as well as the fact that adult learners tend to retain pieces of information in 5-7 bits at a time interesting.
