 I learned that to be a great manager you must be a good leader. Leader and manager are two separate rolls.

Communicating with the students is important. An instructor must get to know their voice and recording yourself is a great idea. You can watch the recording to see what needs to change. Having a cracked voice you can speak softer.

Maintaining your grade book is important and should be kept safe by law. Do not keep students waiting for their grades.

As an instructor, you must always have a planned method of pivoting if there is an issue in the classroom.

I have always used questioning as a teaching technique. It helps me to understand what the students know and to elaborate more on the content.

Instructors must be aware of the various learning styles and try not to teach the students in their style of learning. At the beginning a learning assessment could be completed.

Instructors should integrate technology in the course but not allowing technology to take over the course.

Good communication can enhance teamwork and collaboration.

Active learning can save headache. Instructors can help the students develop time management skills.

The instructor must ensure that the technology is working prior to class as technology can add to the students' frustration if it not working on the instructor's part or the student. Using active learning the students will take the initiative in their learning.
