Through this course, I’ve learned valuable strategies to ensure my classroom runs effectively. I now understand the importance of starting each day fully prepared and making myself available to students both before and after class. Greeting students at the door helps set a positive tone. Additionally, I’ve learned that lectures should be kept to around 15 minutes for maximum engagement. If a longer lecture is necessary, it’s important to break it up with short pauses or incorporate activities that reinforce the material covered.
