Get Your Students Hired
Use various delivery methods. Break into groups as soon as possible for hands on training and exercises. Encourage students and give feedback.
15 minute mini-lectures may be more valuable to the students than an uninterrupted long lecture.
Be prepared by practicing the material. Chatting with students when you arrive early when possible. Focus on what they've expressed to you, and learn for them, it helps instructors become better educators.
Preparation is key, the more prepared and detailed you are, the better your lecture or lesson will be. You'll be able to communicate to the students more effectively by putting the course content in your own words or terms.
This section taught me to prepare myself and be comfortable before demonstrating before the class.
From this course I learned that being organized and prepared builds confidence in you as a teacher from your students and sets everyone up for success. Having a clear teaching outline will ensure that you are both meeting goals and staying on track. Different students learn in different ways so changing up your teaching style is also important.
I've learned that delivery or course content is very important to students' success! Be creative and have several ways to explain or demonstrate.
Try to keep students engaged by varying your lesson plan delivery and by adjusting your teaching style to fit different learning methods.
From this module, I have learned the importance of developing well-structured course content that aligns with learning objectives and engages students effectively. I intend to apply this by carefully planning my lessons to ensure they follow a logical progression, using diverse instructional strategies such as discussions, hands-on activities, and multimedia resources. I will also continuously assess and refine my course materials based on student feedback and learning outcomes to improve engagement and effectiveness.
It is important to keep lectures short and to use a variety of teaching methods so that it meets all students needs. It is also important to develop good lesson plans.
To know your class (student audience) is key. Delivery method, and handouts also small groups are ways to keep the adult learner interested and engaged
Try and hit the variety of learning styles as well as being as prepared as possible with a lot of preplanning.
I agree that being prepared is always the best to start the day as an instructor. In preparing and delivering the lesson planned, consider that it is used more as a guide than a blueprint. The delivery method should be based on the type of students and the desired outcomes for the course.
Develop content that is relevant to the subject matter and engages the students. Express enthusiasm for the material and adjust it in a way that is easily presentable and understood.
Since I am new I have not had to develop a lesson plan or guide yet. My institution has curriculum already in place with material that will be required to be covered, but they say instructors have flexibility in how it is delivered, and whether or not they want to add to it. Having the guidelines taught here will hopefully make it easier for me to integrate my personal style into teaching a managed curriculum.
lesson planners are a newbies best friend. there are many styles of teaching and learning. we have to try and match method to student
Using various teaching methods helps to keep students engaged. Learning to read the room helps to guide you on ways to help the students learn.
