As teachers, we know what students should be asking. Rather than wait for them to ask us, we should ask them the key questions. A structured set of review and application questions, prepared in advance, works well in most cases. These questions can form the basis of the review at the beginning of the next class meeting. They also may be the starting point for quizzes and tests on the material.
I agree with the quote "Purposeful Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance". Lessons plans need to always be engaging to keep students active.
This traing has taught me that you should always be prepared for class and have a positive attitude, show epathy to your students, write daily objectives on the board. It is very important to build individul relationships with your students, tell them personal stories about yourself realated to the subject you are teaching. Leaders lead with love.
I love the idea of having effective opening stratagies, I will definately use this stratagies
I feel over the years of being a instructor it's made a impact in not just my life also in my students. When students come up to me or still visit me even after they finished the course it feels great to see them. I feel when you can ingage in student events and assignments it makes a huge impact on them. I really enjoy seeing the students have fun in different learning styles.
I love warmming-up activities. They always help to put the group together and create work atmosphere at once.
i am excited to implement the tell-teach-repeat lesson strategy
The excitment of the instructor is very important in getting students to actively engage in the daily activities.
Keeping the students engaged is the best way to insure attendance from start to finish. Clear objectives helps with learning and having a reason to be on time and end of the lecture motivators is always a good idea.
I have found that greeting or acknowledging students as they walk into the classrooms helps create a positive learning environment. Students are more engaged at the beginning of the class.
I have learned that students are better motivated when the instructors let them know what they will be learning during class. Also, applying course material to experience keeps them engaged.
To set the tone for the day , One of the most effective things i can do is to start each day with an activity that allows students to have fun, to be creative, to interact with each other and to begin thinking about what was covered in previous classes or what the topic of the day will be.
Start the class woth some sort of "tease" or question that peaks the student's interest and encourages them to be engaged in the class.
Motivate student by having an opening activity and end it with a activitiy restating the goals
I strive to be more impactful with my instruction.
Usually, I give a step by step instruction to accomplsih a task for the day. How this cours helps by being more interactive and having a more strcutured plan for assessment after the task have been completed.
Plan opening and closing day activities, keeping them interested and excited to come back for the next class.
The rule of 3 is vital in getting information out to students.
This module, was very helpful. Each section was quite informative, & I have outlined below my plan on how I intend to use it.
The power of positivity, energy, & enthusiasm is so important to help stsrt a class strong.
I will be starting each class with the "Tell - Teach - Repete lesson stratigy.
- Start with experiences that will allow the student to relate what they know to what they are about to learn.
- Then will cover the lesson objectives.
- Then how the objectives will be acomplished.
- Then how it relates to their careers.
Some important things that I will keep in mind to help me start strong with my students are.....
- Be sure they feel welcome.
- Tell a related story.
- Have some form of an opening activity, to peek intrest.
The format of my class will be based apon the following ..... ( estimated)
- Intro 5 min.
- Lecture 20 min.
- Guided Discussions 15 min.
- Brief review / questions time 10 min.
In addition, the text books that I am changing to I will be using teaching guides & lesson planners in them to guide the class period, as well as a guided question session. The brief review will be base on this & the worksheets / tests to be given.
In closing a class session, I will briefly explain how this lession will apply to there careers. This will have been started at the beginning of the class.
I loved the idea of the resume and business card opener. I teach graphic communications, so it'd be a perfect way to start off the semester and get a feel for what my students are like. It'd be fun to do it again near the end, to see how they've progressed. Overall, very informative ways to begin and end impactful lessons.
