Key things to remember

• The learning objectives will be consistent with the mission of DIS, the aims of your program, and the purpose of your course

• Tell the students what the learning objectives are, and use them as a guideline to monitor the progress of the course and of the students – refer to them often!

• Be clear about what you expect and will reward, and how these expectations and rewards are linked to the learning objectives you set out in the syllabus

Words of advice from DIS faculty and staff

• Clarity in communication is vital. You can restate things; it does no harm and can help the message to be heard.

• Don’t make assumptions about the students and what they know. It is always good to ask and to check.

• Go and see your classroom before you go to teach for the first time!

• American students are used to a personal connection with teachers in smaller classes. Don’t be surprised if you are approached as a mentor or for a one-on-one talk.

• Have confidence in your ability and knowledge. Don’t be intimidated by American students.

• You will get questions about grades, probably. Answer them, but remember that grading is not a negotiation!

• You can set the tone in your class from day one. It is YOUR classroom, and we support you!

• The Program Directors and I are here to help you.
