Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
Learn more about myself and my students. Being prepared, organized and ready to start class on time.
Setting aside the time to grab all material and get your class in order before the students even enter the classroom or Lab is key to demonstrating what you expect from the student and also setting up how the student sees you.
Setting the "tone' for the student experice is key. Being prepared, organied, ready and prepared for class is vital. Being on time and setting the example for students is also key. Most of us lead by example and positive examples promote positive student outcomes.
I like the idea of using different colored handouts to draw attention to the information and making it more interesting.
Class preparation is going to be one of the keys to being a successful instructor. Try to tap into my teaching style and work on my weaknesses white utilizing my strengths.
I learned that you should be prepared for class before class. Having everything you need for the class ready for the students is very important.
Identity in teaching style
Observation of other instructors helps you recognize what "works" for students (Perspective)
I personally was able to obtain some small changes (color handouts) easier reference and identify if we are all on the "same page"
Love this idea
Planning and Preperation can be observed by student as Respect.
After reading these lessons, I find that I need to make some adjustments to become a more effective class manager.
I learned that I need to focus not only on my personality but how other's perceive my personality in my teachings.
I agree with taking a pause during and after lecture, it will give you inside and will allow you to adjust if you need to. Make class fun!! Student will enjoy the material and it will be a win win situation for you and the student.
How you set up for the week will determine if your students would engage with the different activites and asisgnments that are done for the day and thru week
That are different types of instructors. You teaching style may need to adapt depending on the class. Changing envieronment.
Be prepared.
I like the idea of colored handouts, handing out observation sheets to students on field trips and providing more detail information to guest speakers on what you would like your students to get out of the presentation.
Being an instructor is not for everyone. Doing a self-assessment with a personality test can give you a better idea of your personality to determine if this job is for you. If you are not excited about the job, it might be a better idea to find a better position that does not affect the development of other members.
