Get Your Students Hired
I have learned to use the List of five to get the class engaged and started into the days topics.
From the “Planning Impactful Lessons” module, I have learned several key strategies for creating engaging and effective lessons. One important concept is the idea of backward design, where you start by identifying the desired learning outcomes and then plan the lesson activities and assessments to achieve those outcomes. This approach helps ensure that all aspects of the lesson are aligned with the learning goals.
I also learned about the importance of incorporating various teaching strategies to accommodate different learning styles and preferences. This can include using visual aids, hands-on activities, group work, and technology tools to enhance learning and engagement.
Another key takeaway is the importance of assessing student understanding throughout the lesson, rather than just at the end. This can be done through formative assessments, such as quizzes, discussions, or observations, to gauge student progress and adjust the lesson as needed.
Overall, I intend to apply these concepts by carefully planning my lessons with clear learning objectives, incorporating a variety of teaching strategies, and regularly assessing student understanding to ensure that my lessons are engaging and effective.
engaging the students not just lecturing to them. Using techniques to engage their learning at the beginning of class and also at the end of the class time. I like the idea of having review questions ready and asking the class instead of waiting for them to ask, that way you know that they understood what was being taught
Its great if i can put what i have learn in practical application i believe i will be good instructor if i will succeed to do so ,i will try my best to achieve that Goal .
I learned to have a positive attitude and keep the students engaged with discussions.
Planning more opening activities to help my students engage at the beginning of class, and using more guilded discussions during the class are two that I'm going to focus on, but so many good ideas to think about to help improve my instruction and my students learning.
Have activities planned to keep students excited and willing to learn about their course. Have the students engage in the course.
My biggest takeaway from this lesson was the importance of the first five to ten minutes. This is the moment we have to set the tone for our students. We can grab their attention and interest them in what we are learning. The course noted that well-planned introductory activities save time and allow teachers to provide extra coverage of essential concepts. Students come more prepared and ready to learn more quickly. The lesson also noted the importance of closing activities. Making sure the content is memorable and functional. This will help students apply what they have learned and should ignite excitement.
The power of positivity, energy and enthusiasm. Students do need to feel a connection to what they are being required to learn, and especially how it will benefit them in their future pursuits. I do try to relate materials to personal career experiences I have had in order for them to see that the information I am trying to impart is relative. I am flexible with deadlines. However, I do make sure to only extend the deadline for a few days/one week. Otherwise, students seem to get too far behind.
I learned that an introductory activity is a great way of starting the class and setting the tone
The "Tell, Teach, Repeat" rule of three is something I often heard and originally learned in the military, and is a very effective main tool for structure and home base of ensuring the content was given and helps both the teacher and student stay on task.
Impactful and deliberate planning fosters better content mastery of students' comprehension and motivation.
I liked the emphasis made on making "class closure" memorable, which I call the "wrap up".
I will be mindful of this. We have copious amounts of often complex content so this will be very challenging.

Start lecture with an engaging question. Check in with classes at the start to gage how everyone is feeling.
Having empathy and having your students know you care and are invested in their success is so very important. I like how this was addressed in this module.
Start class with Icebreakers to create active student engagement and to encourage other students who come late.
