Hello Joannie,
I concur. I don't know how anyone can be effective without planning.

Hi Detra,
I live by that saying. It is so true. Advanced preparation and organization are key.

I agree that planning is the key. Without it, I do not know how I could be effective.

Some of the ways I avoid making instructor mistakes is by planning ahead of time and staying organized. Remember the saying, "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail!"

Repition, experience, and a willingess to learn from your own mistakes. I find that self reflection is a great way to grow as an instructor. If I am willing to honestly reflect on my own abilities and then build my abilities to decrease my weaknesses, I become a progressively better teacher.

Hi James,
What have you discovered from being able to read your students?

I think you need to be able to read people and build from there. You must have a game plan and stick to it and be solid on your rules for class. It makes class and lab instruction easier if you are well versed in what you do.
