Teaching Experience

My experience teaching in this class taught me many important things. One of them is to be completely prepared for every possibility. Another is to be prepared with extra material in case parts of the lesson run more quickly or roughly than you had expected. This makes it easier to improvise and fill in time as necessary. Also, I found out that it is important to repeat important points such as due dates and objectives often during the class period. Also, it is better to make announcements before you believe you need to because students won't often listen and obey right away. This will allow for there to be time for important measures such as closure. Another thing that I learned is to never depend on your students to be excited and motivated for class. I believe if I am more animated and excited, my class will be too. This is something that I need to improve upon.
