The primary reason for using a lesson plan is to organize instruction so learning objectives, materials, activities, and assessments are clearly planned ahead of time. A lesson plan helps instructors manage time effectively, stay focused on the course goals, and create a more successful learning experience for students.
I learned that the "how" and "why" behind content creation and delivery is almost as important as the content itself.
I learned that how you deliver content really matters, not just what you teach, so mixing up methods and keeping things engaging can make a big difference. I want to be more intentional about how I present material so students stay interested and actually understand it better.
Keep lectures to a 10-to-15-minute length. Adults struggle to pay attention beyond that. Also, keep steps to procedures to 7 or less at a time. Be sure to walk among the class during labs to verify and encourage good work. Don't be afraid to stop the class and redemonstrate what y'all are working on if the majority of the class is doing it wrong.
I have learned that there are several ways to make delivery of course content interesting to the students. Being flexible and diverse with instruction methods helps students learn effectively. The instructor as well needs to be mindful of how they present themselves and are perceived by their students. Practicing always on how to deliver a lecture helps the instructor become an effective speaker and educator.
Teaching needs to be adaptable to the students to help with the variety of different types of learners. There is all types of students from tactile, verbal, auditory and more. Utilizing all of these tools allow everyone a chance to learn in their own way.
Comment on matthew watkins's post: I support this answer, having a format on topics will be helpful.
I have learned that attentions spans will vary but to keep this in mind as well as learning styles. Trying to incorporate different styles will be helpful.
The module was very helpful in reminding instructors the importance of knowing the different types of learners. Once aware, teaching can be delivered in the most beneficial way. Instructors should prepare their course outline the day before to ensure a positive flow. It should be rehearsed prior to the lecture.
in order to be an effective instructor you must deliver the content in a short, clear and organized manor.
It is important to make sure all knowledge delivery is carefully thought out. Each student learns differently and being able to touch on all different learning styles would be valuable to all students.
Instructors should construct learning techniques according to each students learning style
in order to be an effective instructor you must deliver the content in a short, clear and organized manor.
I have learned the importance of delivery to your students and trying to deliver information in different ways to allow for more students to grasp an idea. Always connecting an example to a concept.
Always practice demonstrations prior to your lecture so when you deliver your students will have a better understanding of what you are teaching
In this course I learned how people have different ways of learning and we should try to deliver different styles of teaching to help them become engaged in what we're trying to teach.
Keeping lectures into max of 15-18 minutes and then doing an activity to reinforce understanding of content. Switching things around to keep students interested sand reach different learning styles and always practice demonstrations beforehand.
In this section i learned how people have different styles of learning and we have to try and deliver different styles of teaching to help them become engaged in what were trying to teach.
You have many students that learn different ways. If you have a visualization learner, if you don't practice the demonstration you could show them wrong.
I learned that you need to be able to demonstrate to the class, so you need to practice it first. There are many different styles of learning and the ones that learn by visualization would learn the wrong way if you do it wrong when demonstrating.
