First day class

Some lessons (inspiration) for the first day of class...
Good first day class

1. Build curiosity 
2. Help build a community
3. Learning: begin with what they already know; learn what helps them best as individuals; begin the content (without actually making them feel the burden)
4. Clarify expectations (theirs and yours): assessments, policies, deadlines, materials... Give space for their aspirations, prejudices, fears and anxieties... ("What's the one thing that helps you learn better and that I can help with?"
