Managing the Classroom
Making the Most of Your Classroom Environment
When teaching your course, one thing that you may not consider immediately, is the classroom environment. Giving some consideration to the teaching and learning environment can help you design better activities for your students; helping with student engagement and interaction.
Getting to Know Your Students
Everybody likes to be referred to by their name rather than as “hey you.” Your students are no different in this regard. If you refer to them by a name, they may be more likely to see their class contributions as relevant. Knowing that the instructor acknowledges their name may also encourage them to contribute to Q and A or discussion within the class because they see themselves as a contributor to the class and not as a paying customer of tuition.
