Being prepared and organized for the students will set the stage for the students to become successful in the class. Using different types of handouts to bring their attention to different parts of the class was an interesting idea.
A great deal of useful information as I embark on my teaching career and share my nursing experience with others who have a passion in the health field to be their best self.
It is important to be prepared before hand, always include new alternatives to maintain students active
The idea on different color uses to differentiate material and re-energize the class seems like something I'd like to incorporate to see how students respond.
Being prepared meaning thinking ahead and having all the resources necessary to meet the learning styles of your students. An instructor who is prepared will increase the likelihood a student will engage with the learning material and retain it.
The importance of field trips is that students can see how the jobs that they are going to school for are being applied in the real world.
Reviewing and examining the material in this course has given me a clearer understanding of how to connect with students. I also understand how to set the atmosphere for a professional yet enjoyable learning experience.
The only constant in a classroom is change. I need to change my teaching style depending on class, and subject area being taught.
Taking the time to observe how students are making use of the classroom/lab space early on can be very valuable.
Taking moments to pause and observe the class can go a long way in making adjustments to the class flow and to regroup.
poor planning=poor performance. Practice the labs and know the results, have all MEP and equipment ready to go.
The thing I learned with this presentation is the simple aspect of using colored paper to vary your handouts. Great yet simple idea.
Planning is everything. Being prepared is huge. Knowing how each student learns and knowing your teaching style is all key to success.
This module helped me to analyze and reflect my personality/teaching style and how it works with students.
organization help for the "work" flow to go a lot smoother. This is one time that my OCD helps!
Arriving to the classroom with enough time to easily arrange the materials for the students. Plan and organize for possible field trips and guest speakers.
I really liked the analogy of the orchestra conductor. I'm a musician, and it really makes sense to look at the class as an orchestra, and class management means that the conductor must adjust and guide every instrument section to play its part in harmony with the other sections. I always have one or two drummers, maybe one trumpet, a couple of horns, a flute and a piccolo, and several soft strings :)
