  Sounds boring—but every educator we spoke to said this was the most critical and most neglected part of starting the job. This module is your no-fluff survival guide to understanding how your institution actually works—so you’re not caught off guard when a student misses an exam, challenges a grade, or pushes the boundaries on academic integrity. Most new instructors are left to figure this stuff out the hard way. You don’t have to. This module gives you the clarity, confidence, and authority you need to show up like a pro from day one. 

 Understanding learning outcomes is the foundation of effective teaching—yet many new educators are handed a syllabus without being shown how to interpret it. This module helps you unpack institutional learning outcomes and translate them into clear, meaningful objectives that guide your teaching. You'll learn how to identify key themes, align your lessons and assessments with what really matters, and avoid common pitfalls like over-teaching or misaligned assignments. Whether your outcomes are provided or you're asked to write your own, this module gives you the clarity and confidence to teach with purpose from day one. 

 A strong lesson plan doesn’t just keep you organized—it sets the tone for a successful class. In this module, you’ll learn how to use the BOPPPS model (Bridge, Outcomes, Pre-assessment, Participatory learning, Post-assessment, Summary) to build lessons that are purposeful, engaging, and student-centered. We’ll walk through real examples, show you how to balance timing and flow, and help you create reusable templates that save time week after week. Whether you're planning a 60-minute seminar or a 3-hour lecture block, this module gives you the tools to walk into the classroom prepared and confident. 

 Assessments are more than just grades—they’re one of the most powerful tools you have for supporting student learning. This module takes you through the fundamentals of designing fair, transparent assessments and building rubrics that make grading easier and clearer for everyone. You’ll also learn how to give feedback that actually helps students grow (and reduces repeat mistakes), along with strategies for managing late submissions, group work, and academic integrity concerns. Whether you're assessing participation, projects, or final exams, this module helps you do it with clarity, consistency, and compassion.

  Adult learners bring rich experiences, busy lives, and unique challenges to the classroom. This module introduces the core principles of andragogy—the theory and practice of teaching adults—and shows you how to create respectful, inclusive environments where students feel seen, valued, and motivated. You’ll learn how to support autonomy, foster collaboration, and respond to diverse learning needs while maintaining high standards. With practical tools and teaching strategies, this module will help you move beyond lecturing and into truly engaging, student-driven learning. 

 Technology can be your best ally—or your biggest headache. This module simplifies the learning curve by walking you through the essential tech tools you'll use in your role, including your institution’s Learning Management System (LMS), assignment submissions, discussion boards, and grading tools. We’ll introduce free and low-cost apps that enhance classroom engagement and streamline your prep, along with strategies for setting tech expectations with students. Whether you’re tech-savvy or totally new to digital teaching, you’ll leave this module with the skills and confidence to manage your tools—not be managed by them. 

 Teaching is deeply rewarding—but also demanding, especially when you're new and figuring everything out as you go. This module helps you set boundaries, manage your time and energy, and tap into the wellness and support systems available to you on campus and beyond. From handling emotionally draining situations to preventing burnout, we’ll explore ways to take care of your mental, emotional, and professional well-being. You’ll also get tips for creating a support network, finding mentorship, and building habits that sustain you across semesters—not just survive them. .
