Meeting the Students for the First Time
I enjoy my new course; I sit on top of my desk and tell my new guy and gals a little bit about my background in education. I then move into my expectations of the students, which includes the course outline and the course objectives. I make my students feel comfortable by letting them know that whatever their learning style is, I will aid them with the method they need.
Hi James,
Yes, it does. Using an ice breaker and spending time talking with students starts the respect development process. In addition it gives me grounds to develop rapport with the students. This gives me a feel for the students and how I should proceed with my instructional planning to meet their needs.
