It is important to ensure you have introduced yourself to the student and allowed them to introduce themself to the instructor. Creates rapport that will be important moving forward.
Having a safe and fun educational experience is key. Students want to know that they are safe and will enjoy the class setting.
Connections are key. Connecting yourself as an educator and facilator of knowledge to the source material provides credibility. Connecting with your students on a professional yet engaged way provides a solid foundation for learning. Connecting students with each other will strengthen the cohort and may lead to a better experience. Connecting to the end and the steps along the way will reduce stress and enhance potential outcome.
Its important to learn the students name. Its important to set the standards of the first day so that way they know what to expect. Make sure to put class number, your name and intro on board to ease student so that they know they are in the right class.
