I am personally deeply moved by music.   I plan to introduce music into my classes.  

I need to be aware of my attitude about subject matter.  Even difficult matter can be turned into a positive for the learners.   

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.   

Do not try to prove you are the smartest, because there is always someone smarter that you.  I could even be one your students.   Instead, show your enthusiam for your profession and subject material.   

In this day and time, due to Covid, technology pays a key role in education.   We can utilize many avenues to enhance the learning process.  

Good planning gives the student a clear path as to what is expected.  

Assessments are key to student learning and instructor performance.  

It is very important for the student to know the objectives for learning in a class.   It is also for a student to plan their own learning objectives for themselves.
