Did anything on the list surprise you?

I was not surprised by anything on the list of expectations because these are all things that face to face teacher expect from the students too. While I don't think that these expectations are surprising, I'm sure that some students will struggle with some of them like notifying the teacher when they're struggling because for many, they're used to the teacher being able to read body language in class, something that isn't apparent in an online setting.

1. These expectations do not really surprise me as they focus on principles that I have found enable students to be successful. Give students autonomy and agency, keeps them accountable, and differentiates to their own needs. I think these expectations are spot on for both the teachers and students to set up a positive educational experience!

1. Did anything surprise you when reading the expectations? Why or Why not?

I was really not surprised by the materials in the reading. The expectations listed in the reading are what we should expect from all our students in a face-to-face class as well. It is important to communicate with both parents and students. The learning process does not consist of just a student and a teacher. It involves many different people, making communication imperative. By communicating and stay organized as an instructor, you are setting an example for your students. By providing the example and the guidance, you are hopefully ultimately have students to grow as functional individuals.

3. Is there anything on the list that you wish students would learn in your face-to-face courses?

"Think critically and practice sound decision-making" without a doubt.  My goal as an educator -- and as a coach -- is to help students grow and develop into autonomous and functional individuals; to help them be able to navigate life and successful overcome challenges.  Ideally, they can apply critical thinking and sound decision-making to all sorts of situations, regardless of whether or not the situations are directly related to the content area they studied in my classroom.  I find nothing so satisfying as seeing former students and athletes asserting themselves and achieving successes later in life.

1. Did anything surprise you when reading through the expectations? Why or why not?

No, nothing really surprised me when I read through the expectations of our learners.  I already maintain positive relationships with my students, provide positive feedback, manage my time responsibly, and utilize Google Classroom to communicate with my students. I think it is important to build relationships and a positive rapport with your students.  Without this, it is very difficult to get students to buy into the content they are learning.  I collaborate with my colleagues, and develop lesson plans that engage and challenge students.  This allows my students to take ownership of their learning and develop critical thinking skills.  I plan to continue to do all of this as an eLo online instructor during the summer.

2. Is there anything on the list that you don't expect in a face-to-face course?

Nothing was on the list that I did not expect that I would not see or already do in my face-to-face classes I currently teach.  The only concern I would have, would be the direct communication you have with students in an online course compared to the communication you have with students in a face-to-face classroom. I want to make sure I keep the lines of communication open.

3. Is there anything on the list that you wish students would learn in your face-to-face courses?

Teaching four AP courses and communicating with students (in a face-to-face classroom) using Google Classroom I feel as if my students know what is expected of them and of me.  I have already learned through this first module training that teaching and taking an online course makes both students and teachers more accountable than a traditional classroom setting.

After watching the three YouTube videos, nothing really surprised me about the students’ responses to an eLo course.  All students enjoyed their courses, and one of the main reasons why students like the online course is that they were able to complete their work over the summer and at their own pace.

3. Is there anything on the list that you wish students would learn in your face-to-face courses?

High school students, whether in an online setting or a face-to-face classroom setting, must learn how to be proactive with their teachers whenever they encounter difficulties. As studies have shown (task 4), successful online students must be proactive with their teacher, and as Kip says in the recording, they must open direct lines of communication. This is the case in a face-to-face classroom, too, and Kip makes an excellent point about how students must "flex these muscles!" It's an important college-readiness skill, as well as a lifelong societal skill. Students must learn to advocate for themselves and take responsibility their learning, regardless of the setting.

3. Is there anything on the list that you wish students would learn in your face-to-face courses?

As I read through the expectations, I found myself agreeing that this is what I would expect from my students face-to-face. I expect these things, but I am sure that students do not always learn how to do these things. I would love if students would advocate effectively for themselves, stay positive, help each other, etc. The more I go through this course the more I get excited about how teaching an online course might actually make me a better face-to-face teacher too!

2. While most of the expectations are consistent with a face to face course, I suppose the difference is that each student must be much more responsible for their own pacing and time management. In a regular classroom, we help students much more directly with this skill. Students also have to advocate for themselves to a greater degree in an online environment, since the instructor can't use non-verbal cues to figure out if a student is comprehending the material or the instructions.

I would LOVE for my face-to-face students to become better self-advocates and to take the initiative to speak to me if they need help. I do have students who do this, but unfortunately many students still see asking for help as a weakness.
I would also LOVE for my face-to-face students to learn proper netiquette - especially when it comes to emails.  It has gotten better in the past couple of years, but I still receive emails from students that start out with "Hey" or are written in ALL CAPS as if they are shouting at me

1. Did anything surprise you when reading through the expectations? Why or why not?
I do not feel as though anything was surprising as much as it was very informative and something that should be included into every teacher's syllabus. The expectations are very thorough and provide students with great ideas about how to take an online course. From online courses I have taken, they do not provide this much support before even taking the class. There is great advice listed here for managing time, communicating with instructors, and troubleshooting technology problems. These expectations really drive home what a student needs to be successful in any online course.

2. Is there anything on the list that you don't expect in a face-to-face course?
The only piece that may be slightly different in this online piece is ensuring communication occurs when a student cannot maintain the course pace. However, within the classroom students should be communicating with teachers about circumstances that would impact their completion ability. Overall, the expectations are pretty much the same as what you would see in a face-to-face course.

3. Is there anything on the list that you wish students would learn in your face-to-face courses?
I feel that accountability and responsibility are stressed to the highest degree through these expectations. These two items are what I wish students would learn in my face-to-face courses. The independence that this type of class affords students is something I wish to transfer over to my courses. Already we do things in class where they are entirely responsible (for example, free inquiry projects where they develop their own guiding questions, processes, and final products). I wish to increase this within my classroom to ensure students take ownership of their education to a greater extent.

1. Did anything surprise you when reading through the expectations? Why or why not?

Nothing really surprised me, because the vast majority of this is what I already do in my face-to-face classes. I keep parents up to date, I get to know my students in the beginning of class and I feel as if I offer a welcoming and safe learning environment. I was surprised by the fact that à weekly newsletter type contact would be à good thing to do, which as an everyday teacher, I already do, because we talk on à daily basis.

2. Is there anything on the list that you don't expect in a face-to-face course?

I don’t expect what I said was a surprise, the weekly contact, since that kind of already happens. I wouldn’t normally keep grades in Canvas LMS, if I understood this correctly, because we have to keep them in Infinite Campus.

3. Is there anything on the list that you wish students would learn in your face-to-face courses?

The biggest thing that I think would be beneficial to face-to-face learners would be to encourage students who are more shy and don’t participate during daily conversations to participate in daily conversations. At least with this, I hope that students will be able to participate more frequently.
