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:
- Establishing clear expectations
- Communicating and modeling desired behaviors
- Involving students in co-creating norms
- Defining clear procedures for daily activities
- Building positive teacher-student relationships
- get to know your students and show empathy
- fostering belonging and community
- positive reinforcement
- creating a structured and predictable environment
- clear routine and procedures
- arranging the classroom strategically
- implementing efficient storage solutions
- being proactive, not reactive
- anticipating potential issues and planning accordingly
- 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.
First and foremost, I have to "hook" students to increase their buy-in regarding the course material. Teaching math, I often have math-phobics who have had limited success with math in the past. Other times, their math skills have atrophied after spending years outside of a classroom. I try to entertain as well as inform, so on the first night of class, I'll typically use a mathematical party trick to suggest that I have psychic mind reading powers. The students are generally amazed, but as I repeat the trick, some of them start to recognize a pattern and then they begin to discuss among themselves as to how I'm doing it. This segues nicely into an overall theme of using pattern recognition to be successful in math and how it can be used in their field.
Second, once students are a bit more relaxed, I mix in my expectations for the course (grading, late work policies, standards) with various bits of growth mindset encouragement. It's much easier to talk about doing quality work and clearing a high bar with intimidating concepts if I've first taken the time to boost their confidence a bit.
After reviewing the material, I have learned that it is important to set expectations on the first day. Students may feel anxious, by providing clear course objectives and policies, you can help improve student confidence. After reviewing the syllabus, students should know what will be covered in the course, how they will be graded, and any important dates and policies. I also learned the importance of ice breakers and getting the class to work as a team.
Clear expectations and rules. Don't make a rule that can be broken.
I have learned about subject matter expert SME, and Instructional Delivery Expert (IDE). The instructor will develop ways to create a detailed syllabus, highlighting areas to get the student's attention. Also setting standards for late assignments.
