Help students understand my personal expectations and how they align with the course, school, and profession. Setting clear boundaries and expectations will help the students succeed. 

I like the paper airplane idea.

Especially in the medical field, you need to learnt to take direction.

importance of engaging students in class with their agenda included. documentation of late/ missed assignments and policy enforcement. 

As a New Instructor I find this topic very interesting and relevent to my current classes.  It seems today's students seem to have many excuses why they have not turned in their assignments. I intend to set a hard and fast rule on due dates and make sure that the students are held accountable for their actions of not turning in their work on time.

I learned about establishing clear and précised expectations. In my world, following expectations = job security

Clear communication is key. Establish expectations early-not just about rules, but about respect, responsibility, and effort. Let students know what they expect from you as their teacher, and what you hope to see from them as learners. Take time to explain your routines, model classroom procedures, and practice them together. 

I learned to set clear expectations and enforces rules. Helping them understand that there will be policies in place in the future in their career endeavors therefore they should treat their classroom the same in preparing for that. 

Setting the stage for success:

  1. Establishing clear expectations
    1. Communicating and modeling desired behaviors
    2. Involving students in co-creating norms
    3. Defining clear procedures for daily activities
  2. Building positive teacher-student relationships
    1. get to know your students and show empathy
    2. fostering belonging and community
    3. positive reinforcement
  3. creating a structured and predictable environment
    1. clear routine and procedures
    2. arranging the classroom strategically
    3. implementing efficient storage solutions
  4. being proactive, not reactive
    1. anticipating potential issues and planning accordingly
    2. addressing minor disruptions promptly and calmly

You need to have a successful teaching strategy to be a successful instructor.  To find one, write down what has worked and did not work. 

I learned that you need to set up a syllabus with clear instructions so that the students know the expectations.

The late assignments suggestions were informative. It is critical to set expectations on assignments upfront and not wavier when the excuses roll around.

Set clear expectations for the class from day one. Be concise and stick to what you say.

I've learned starting the class with a clear & organized syllabus  can help explain course expectations and assignment due dates. leaves less room to say a due date was not known

To help students understand the requirements of the class, the instructor should have clear instructions on topics to be covered and due dates for all assignments. This will help to lower the students pre-course anxiety.

Just setting the class expectations and rules. Have boundaries around their grades.

Provide the class with a clear lay of the land so they know what is expected of the course. Also if you set a deadline do not bend it and stick to your rules.

set clear expectations, engage with the student, and ensure they understand what is expected from them concerning due dates, course materials and involvement with peers

The course has taught me to set clear expectations and ensure my class is organized. Students must understand the expectations, rules, and procedures in the classroom.

Set a very clear understanding as to how the class will proceed. Set deadlines, explain what is expected of the students, how assignments will be handled, grading procedures and especially what you are looking for from the students themselves. It's also a good idea to have the interact as a team as well as collaborating on projects but most importantly establish the "Golden Rule" and let them know you are the arbitrator of the classroom. 

This course has taught me the importance of setting course expectations by reviewing the syllabus on the first day. Also, alleviating anxieties that students might have by allowing them to ask questions and clarifying what the course objectives are. In addition, by being aware of the three areas of learning and behavior that students need will help them to achieve success in the class and their careers.
