Professionalism, humility, passion, and professional development are my key take aways from this module thus far. I am inspired to stay excited about my field both for myself and my students alike!
Being a leader and motivating
there are different test used to asses the students progress
Gives instructors the tools to evaluate students progress and learning capabilities
Asking questions lead to student discussions and answers
Instructors have to combine the 4 different learning styles in order to teach all students
Importance of classroom orientation (seating, decore, etc.) - as well as overall structure as it pertains to time management and stimulus (musis, visual, etc.)
Positive reinforcement through effective communication and classroom management.
I like the idea of doing quick safety check-ins at the beginning of class to reinforce the need for following safety protocols. In the laboratory environment there are a host of hazards. We must work hard to ensure our students understand the hazards and how to avoid them.
I am a firm believer in formative assessments. Assessing and providing feedback as the student learns allows us to shift instruction as necessary to best support student learning. Relying exclusively on summative assessment runs the risk of completing a learning block only to find that our students are missing key concepts.
