Chapter 2 - First Day
I found the information to be a great review of expectations and some very helpful tools in preparing for the first day.
The information under "Your Gender" and "Your Race and Culture" provided some great insight about student behavior. It is very helpful to know which students are less likely to speak up in class as well as how some students aim to intimidate teachers. If you take this information and apply it, you are well equipped to head off potential pitfalls as a new teacher.
As a professional in the Student Affairs Division, we are well equipped with ice breakers and grouop activities. We utilize these on a regular basis with student employees and staff.
Teaching Tips
The timeline provided was very beneficial and a great guide to someone who currently is not a teacher.
I like the University of New York at Buffalo acronym for syllabus construction. It is easy to remember and creates a clear guide to use in creating a syllabus.
