This topic helped me recognize that effective classroom management begins before teaching the actual content. Creating a successful learning environment requires establishing trust, communicating expectations clearly, and encouraging mutual respect between the instructor and students. I learned that consistency, organization, and a positive attitude can influence student motivation and participation. I will set clear guidelines, provide supportive feedback, and create opportunities for students to engage actively in learning. In nursing education, I will apply these strategies to help students feel confident, responsible, and prepared for clinical practice.
I can be useful to help students create an image of themselves as a successful employee in their chosen field.
One of my responsibilities as teacher/class manager, is to make students see the purpose and goals of the course.
Laying out the expectations on day 1 with a well made syllabus will allow students to understand exactly how to achieve their goals.
I have learned that one method is not always right or good for every student, and I need to work with the best way to deal with every student, with a way to get the best method to help them to learn and understand what I want them to grasp
I learned how important it is to clearly explain the course objectives and expectations to students.
Setting clear expectations and building relationships from day 1 creates the foundation for a successful year. Students need to understand not only what is expected but why those expectations matter.
it is important to set clear expectations in your syllabus
I learned a better way set expectations for late assignments.
Clear expectations including grading, class content, and student expectations set on day 1 of the term helps to facilitate a successful term for the student and the instructor.
I've learned to establish clear expectations for students regarding grades etc.
a teacher needs to provide reasons for the students to participate and pay attention. this can be achieved by giving multiple reasons why the course may be pertinent to their chosen career.
Making sure clear expectations are established early helps both the instructor and students.
Class starts smoother when you establish clear expectations
Setting clear and visible expectations is important to ensure students are aware and informed of important information.
I love the idea of creating different color pages and highlighting the expectations in the syllabus. It will definitely help. I also agree with the idea of all students getting to know each other on the first day and the instructor to set the tone. I will have to try the airplane ice breaker and see how it goes.
I think by having the students get to know each other on the first day besides just introducing themselves and doing an activity is a great idea to incorporate in the classroom. Massage therapy is a hands on class so if we can have the new students feel more comfortable, I believe it would help to improve their skills. I also like the different font's and color paper for the syllabus and let the students know in advance what our expectations are.
Open communication is a must
Let the students know the objectives right away. And expectations
