So far in this course on Classroom management, I have learned and will implement:
Descibe to the students what’s in it for them - how successful complete will help them in their career field. Also, I will have a Quiz activity to complete individually, then group students to review together. I will also Define expectations, have a class Ice breaker, and provide Multiple reminders about due assignment dates to ensure timely submissions and avoid appeals that state they didn’t know when assignments were due.
Students need to know the purpose and goal of what you are teaching. They need to know they are part of the learning team. Teachers need to keep in mind that students want to know, "What's In It For Me?"
Being clear about deadlines and make sure that expectations are discussed.
Setting clear and concise expectations for the course day 1.
I have learned to set up clear expectations with students the very first day of class using the course syllabus as the most powerful tool to help them remain focused on the course contents, activities, and communication.
I have learned to be clear about assignment deadlines and that activities that involve teamwork during course teachings will help keep students engaged.
I learned the importance of proactive planning and establishment clear, structured goals in the project.
To have clear expectations set for the students
Clear communication and expectations will improve student success.
Explaining class expectations is a must so we are all on the same page.
I have learned to incorporate teamwork into activities. This helps to get the class engaged.
Discussing and running through a good course/syllabus break down helps alot!
It's important to have clear expectations for the student.
The most common reason stated for not having an assignment done on time was not knowing when it was due. Being clear with assignment due dates and policy for late submissions provides clarity for students and allows students with heavier course loads to manage there time more effectively and get the most from these assignments.
It is important for students to understand that the content of the class is to give them every opportunity to be successful in the course. Completing the activities provided in this course, will increase the chance for students success.
I liked the example of how important the syllabus content and outlining what to expect.
I found the reminder of how different high school mentality regarding assignments is from what must be required of college students considering the responsibilities they will face in practice.
Having a classroom that is organized and collaborative is a must in classroom success .
Communication is the best key for success.
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.
