be on time and be prepared. be a mentor to the students.
syllabus should be detailed and set the tone, policies and expectations for the class. Prepare ahead of time and know your content
Be prepare, review the syllabus/objectives. Have a check list to prevent from missing any items. I believe I will start to practice this good point to prevent from forgetting any items.
In short... Be prepared!
Arrive to class early. Make sure everything you or your students need is available before it is needed.
Keep a small notebook with you to make note of any needs or to follow up on anything student requests.
Preperation is key to sucessful instruction. knowing your students names and speding extra time before and after class is motivational and will help them feel comfortable with you.
I need checklists in order to have structure. Without checklists of what I am doing, it is too easy to get off topic or to not accomplish something I absolutely need to do with the class.
Gett to class ealry. Learn the students name before the class. Greet each student with a bit of motivation.
Be prepared, detail oriented syllabus with clear expectations
Clear and obtainable objectives are so important
Being on time is a must and as instructor being ahead of time is crucial to help set up the environment, especially when going to a clinical site. It is important that your students see that you can guide them on a place that it is not familiar to them like the classroom. I think it will give them confidence in the instructor.
Being prepared is the key to being organized and success while teachng . Planning out your day/week keeps you on track and on target for successful teaching.
Being prepared is very important for students and instructors alike as it shows that you are serious about your course. Having a checklist and notepad is also very helpful.
1. Syllabus is all inclusive class document
2. Prepare and plan throroughly before each class
3. Organization improves engagment and success of students
4. Arrive early before students, get to know students, calling students by names
Keeping a checklist I think is a great idea. Also the importance of setting goals and objectives and having those clearly laid out.
Show up early for class to get to know your students and set the standard for the course. The syllabus is key for letting the students know the expectatations for the class.
Being well prepared can save you time and grief in the future. Being clear on your expectations for the class in the syllabus is key. It is the road map for your class.
Preparation is important.
Having checklists, holding students accountable to meet deadlines and teaching general good study skills
Reply to Cecy Aguilar's post: I like that you added the student belonging in the classroom. I have had instructors who didn't care who I was or even knew I existed. They did not take an interest in me as someone who wanted to learn what they had to teach. In my previous job as a clinical instructor in the hospital, I had the opportunity to get to know my students, who were the new hires on the clinical units. I had the greatest pleasure seeing them grow, and always pointed out the progress they made. That made them feel good and like they belonged, as you said. If you feel like you are a part of something, there is positivity.
The review of writing course objectives and syllabi was very helpful to me. I had not thought of them as a road map for the student, but they truly are a means to a destination. Both the syllabus and course objectives were the way I kept myself on track for my MSN courses online, but I did not think of them in the way this course has shown me how vital they are to learning.
