A well thought out and prepared lesson plan is an important part of the learning process. It keeps the teacher on task and is the road map to follow on the educational journey.

First Class Meeting

The first class meeting can be the most important for both the student and teacher. It is the time when you can learn a lot about your students and they can learn a lot about you and what is to come. Be organized, clear and concise and approachable. You only get one chance to make a first impression. Make the most of it.

Planning

As an instructor I believe that it's important to be early to class so that I can have my materials and other necessary things organized and ready for the students to arrive so that we can get started on time. I believe that if you don't arrive early it gives students the impression that you may be disorganized which will have a negative effect on their perception of you.

Knowing your material and staying current

I think as an effective instructor you have to continue to strive to stay current within your field of expertise. In our ever changing and growing society it is important to be able to continue to educate oneself with current trends, initiatives, etc. in your field, to help bring this information to the students for their continued educational preparation.
