18. However, some students may not understand you.
Don’t ask the student if he/she understands. The student will say “yes”.
They have spent years at school learning to be invisible and to anticipate what their teachers want to hear from them.

19. Teach for outcomes.
This is why we must teach for student outcomes. Get students to engage in practice through which you can evaluate their learning.

20. We must remember to find out what the students already know.
We don’t want to waste time teaching something that they are too shy to tell us they have learned before.
If our teaching is focused upon outcomes and evaluating outcomes throughout the lesson, we will be more likely to discover what they can and cannot do.

21. The First Lesson Introduce yourself. Get to know them.
Set a list of 5 or 6 class rules.
Course outline and grading
Set them a homework task in preparation for Lesson #2.
Give students an address (not phone #).
