Keys to being a good teacher

Listening

Respect

Knowing there is always more to learn

My takeaways:

• Don't try to be smarter than the students. Humility is key.
• Dress and act as professional as possible. No cursing.
• Have students use new knowledge ASAP to drive motivation.
• Arrive to class early and be prepared to start on time.

Backwards chaining and reflection will help

I think using games would be a great way to keep the class motivated

This will help layout the classroom to suit the needs of myself and the students. i personally cannot concentrate with music playing but would be open to trying it

I feel this will help with the way i will address the class. What to say and what not to say

This was very informative and important on being a model for students by punctuation, preparation, professionalism, and continuing to get training on strategies to be a better instructor for the students and myself.

Lead by example!

I'm learning right along with the students.

Peripherals in the classroom and the importance of color, but I was so impressed about the music to stimulate the alpha waves that I googled it and an now listening to it while completing this course. I will definitely be using this during practical exercises.
