I have gained a better understanding of time management.
Being prepared is a great way of getting things done and making sure students understand what you are doing for your mod
What I have learned from the information provided is the importance to understand the students abilities as well as your own. By knowing the abilities and knwledge of your students you can best prepare a class to succeed to meet the needs of the students. It is also important to understand our own abilities. Knowing what our strengths and weaknesses are allows for a teacher to use their strengths to best deliver the information. Lastly the power of time management is crucial to the learning of the students. By being preperared to take on the time alloted the best ay possible, the students will remain engaged and focused on the infromation given to them. Being able to adapt to things as the lectures take place is pivotal to the learning of the students and their success.
Classroom management is key to have a successful school year.
Use 'get to know me' tests with students to better gauge their capabilities.
Excellent guide to work and be oriented to results
It is the responsibility of the instructor to manage his time well and keep the class on track by having a solid lesson plan. Plus, it is the student's time as well and you don't want to waste their time by being unprepared.
Every cohort will present with a different learning style or need. We need to be flexible and be able to apply our course content in different ways to reach all students.
Prepare ahead of time; be flexible to any emergencies and be consistent.
Flexibility is key to course instruction and will be required for each class.
Striking the balance between routines and predictability and variety in instruction. This can be tricky, but is an essential part of successful lesson planning. Students should know what is expected of them when the enter the classroom, and they should have their interest piqued by the learning experiences they encounter. Successful teachers are able to craft lessons that accomplish this.
Learn as much as you can about your students by using assessment strategies. Get in tune with your class by utilizing pretests and gathering information about pre-existing foundational knowledge that your students may or may not possess.
Understand your self and how you learn and teach as an instructor. Find out about your students at the beginning with a baseline. Be cognizant about students being diverse learners and how your teaching style affects them. Manage time intently because new instructors will mismanage it due to lack of experience.
Be Flexible and use multiple teaching methods.
Jim Stone,
This instruction has been very helpful to me as I have been an instructor previously, but I have personally shown individuals help when they asked questions. I am pleased with this instruction course to show me a way to help the students with the knowledge I have developed over the past 52 years in aviation. Thank you.
Every class will be different. Choose the topic to teach, choose ways to teach the basics. Find ways to incorporate everything else. Being sure to be aware of time management.
Get to know the students in the class along with background knowledge of content. Prepare lessons to adjust for different levels in class
Held a course a few years back with no pretest. A student enrolled and after 4 hours they finally acknowledged that they had ZERO understanding of any material that was required before taking the course. Very important to have a basic understanding
With the nature of the subjects I teach, compression is always a concern. Some groups of students are able to comprehend the material more quickly which leaves an excess of extra time during the lesson. I have found having shop projects which go with the material a good way to fill that extra time while allowing the students to stay engaged in the material.
I have learned about the importance of guaging the student's learning prior to beginning a lesson, about the use of pretests and evaluation tools as well as continual evaluation of student understand during the lesson plan. One of the challenges for me will be time management, I need to work on compression of a lesson over 4 chapters into 3 hours, in order to have time to evaluate student comprehension.
