Assessment is to determine what the students can "do" with their knowledge.

I was surprised by some of the do's and don'ts lists. Like the make sure to have more false questions than true. And that the questions that do an and b options are actually discouraging. I agreed with the if you give them a choice of the 5 questions pick two to answer there are always easier questions that the students will chose.

I like the CAT assessment ideas. I think that the ones that ask them what them what they did good or bad may or may not elicit honest answers. I currently use the internship reflection questions with my students.

This one helped me with tips on how to handle students not responding, and what do do with students that are trying to redirect or get us on tangents.

I learned about the different ways auditory learners process and what is best for them. I think we tend to focus on the written and the visual more than we do with the auditory ones. We just take them for granted. 

Having a plan for your class demonstrates the behavior we expect from our students. Modeling professional behavior is the most effective way to encourage professional behavior.

It is beneficial to provide a brief introduction about yourself, perhaps sharing a positive story. Also encourage students to share a little about themselves. This helps create a welcoming environment where everyone is included.

Being prepared for class is essential. Avoid wasting students' time by fumbling around with technology and being unsure of what to do. Show enthusiasm for your students and the subject you are teaching. This will help engage students and create a positive learning environment.

Being ready to go 15 minutes before students arrive models the professional skills we are asking of our students. It is important to show interest in your teaching rather than focusing on showing how smart you are, as this will help engage your students.

Educators can create an inclusive learning environment that meets the needs of students with disabilities, enabling them to reach their full potential.
