Take notes and learn from your mistakes.
Being able to admit that you do not know everything and can make mistakes is a great way to build trust with your students. Learn from the mistake and allow it to make you better next time!
Humans make mistakes and we are ALL human and we ALL make mistakes. It is how you handle your mistakes that will make you a better person and a better instructor. Own your mistakes, laugh at yourself, resolve the mistake, and move on. Make notes of the mistake and the resolution so that you can refer back and not make the same mistakes over and over again. This is also valuable for the students to learn as well so that they learn to handle their own mistakes.
We are human and will make mistakes but make sure to acknowledge your mistake and improve as you move forward. Also don't let the students see your weaknesses.
A checklist and lecture notes reduce fears. Take a moment to jot notes down after class to help in the future
Don't be afraid to ask questions.
Learn from your mistakes. When an activity, lecture does not work for you make a note of it and next time when you are preparing you do not make the same mistakes
Even adult students need support and guidance.
I've learned that boundaries are important. That new instructors should prepare for class but if they make a mistake, use humor when pointing out the mistake to remind students they are human. I also learned that its important to reflect at the end of each lesson, what worked, and what didn't so that the next time they need to teach the same lesson they can remember and come up with a better strategy on how to teach the lesson.
Showing that we are human is good, preparation helps.
I've learned student respect is important for success because it leads to developmental rapport, which in return helps students engage in the learning process.
being prepared is valuable you cant over come not knowing the material.
Write down what mistakes were made and what you learned from them at the end of every day. Also, it is always better to over prepare for each class.
I learned that pre-preparations prevent poor performances. If I failed to plan, I planned to fail.
Over prepare for your class. Take time to instruct the class. We all make mistakes but write them down so you can better handle it in the future
Common instructor mistakes include:
- inconsistency in applying rules and expectations
- not explicitly teaching classroom procedures
- ignoring minor disruptions
- focusing soley on negative behavior
- lack of clear expectations
- not building relationships with students
- trying to a friend rather than teacher
- making lessons too lengthy or boring
- overreacting to student behavior
- punishing the entire class for individual misbehavior
- failing to follow through on consequences
- lack of flexibility
- not seeking support
Keep notes of the mistakes you make and look back on them to not make them again.
I learned that it's important to ask for help with classes or strategies when you are unsure. Preparing ahead of time for class will make you feel more confident going into teaching any topic.
We as instructors often imagine worst-case issues that never happen. It's best to be prepared as much as you can, laugh at yourself sometimes, and learn from the mistakes.
It's okay to show your students that you're human if a mistake is made. Take notes about what works and doesn't- learn from them. Adjust things accordingly and be okay not being perfect.
