meeting the class for the first time

This module showed me how to approach the students in a friendly and unnervous way. Is great to have a course like this one so every rookie instructor, to advance instructor can benefit from it. It gives you great ideas.

Planning and preparation

This module is going to help me a lot, I'm a first time instructor at the professional level and it showed me things that I wouldn't have thought about it unless one of my associates might have mention the planing and preparation of the course being thought.

Flexibility of Instruction

As an instructor your primary goal is to continually monitor whether the students have mastered the learning objective for the day's lesson. One way to do this is by asking questions periodically throughout the class instructin to ensure that each objective is covered thoroughly.

Class expectations

I believe that when you first meet your class as an instructor that the students need to understand what your expectations are in accordance with the syllabus. The assigments, projects, and assessments should be clearly explained, as well as, the course rules that demonstrate the students' adherence to professional standards that are expected to transfer to the workplace upon graduation.

talk about some cases

when i start to give the lecture after 10 mints i will give them example of a disease and we will talk about the disease and if one of the student had same disease a broad discussion will start and after agaim 10 mints i will return back to my subject. Also by using animation with each subject will help more.

Planning and preparing for class

Instructors need to take time to go over materials, create supplemental materials, and to have all handouts, etc. ready for class before the class starts. Coming in 30 or 15 minutes early will not work since as Murphy Law states "if something can go wrong it will". To avoid rushing and your students getting the impression that you are not prepared or organized prepare everything as far in advance as possible.

diverse learning

with diverse learners and those with special needs it is important to identify what has worked in the past in order to incorporate any special teaching aides and ensure the students continued success

monitoring

having students working in groups can be a very benificial exercise as students exchange ideas, it is also easier to monitor as you move around the room, pausing to give feedbcak or answer questions in a more one on one enviroment

How to overcome anxity

Both are ancious teacher and students

attendance

does anyone have any new ideas on how to reward for perfect attendance?

class room climate control

hello, I get many complaints about the classroom climate...cold/hot and I have no control over the thermastat. What can I do to make my students comfortable?

first day

first day is very important for me because i must prepare every thing before the student come. And when they will come i will introduce my self and my experiance and i will tell them " start to tell me about you, why you come to this program"

student behaviour is very important in the class

This is very imprtant for me. You will spend alot of time when there is student feel negative and ask you to repeat the question many many times. And also if you have astudent who talk too much and disturbed you.

role model

I am Medical Assistant program instructor and i am trying my best to be arule model of my student. I am so happy that some of my students told me that i am there role model. For me to be empathy is important. If we have a student with bad attitude we should know the resen for that, because with bad attitude student there must be some factors for that. So being empathy is important.

What they have learned

Reminding students of what they have acceived in class has been a positive helper.

Content Relationship

Keeping the relationship of total class session content can allow the student to more clearly understand the associations that make up the sum total.

show & tell, tell & show

Hospitality & the workplace laws can get, well rather dull if all you do is lecture right out of the book & only do reading assignments. We break it up and make it more realistic - how it applies to the everyday workplace our students will soon be entering. TELL: Taking a short amount of time to go over the material at hand using the traditional powerpoint to underscore what the reading assignment in the textbook covered. SHOW: highlighting where in the real world this material comes into play - then handing it over to the students. the hands on students go online in the classroom, right on the projector, for all to view - letting the students decide what current event is applicable to the hospitality workplace laws - there is always something in the news. The students break into groups and write a quick report on the event, researching what laws appy to the establishment in the news. DO:

First Day

Striking the correct note by beibg prepared on the first day of class sets the tone for the rest of the term.

sequence

After getting the curicullim material from the faculty,it does help to change the sequence sometimes,if it's ok with the faculty.

Creating An Open Environment

Creating a classroom environment that is open to student input and discussion is critical to the learning process.
