Specific Examples Of Pedagogical Skills
- Create a lesson plan prior to each class session that lists objectives — what you want the students to take away from the class or be able to do. The plan should list the topics you wish to cover; but more importantly, it should include the steps or activities you will use to have the students reach those objectives. The plan should also indicate the amount of time you will allot for each activity. This will help you set realistic goals for the class and manage your time well.
- Communicate the learning objectives to students. Write your learning objectives and a list of tasks that will achieve those objectives on the board or on a slide, should you be teaching remotely. This will enable your students to be clear about the purpose of the class activities.
- Use a variety of instructional methods or strategies, since all students learn best from multiple kinds of activities. Incorporate visual, verbal, auditory, individual, and group learning activities into your teaching.
- Encourage participation. Student participation can cement understandings of course material as well as generate new understandings and knowledge that may benefit the entire class.
