Organizational culture means how we do things within our organization and what we are displaying to our students. All department should be involved reaching that goal

When students know their instructor is open to new ideas it creates a more positive atmosphere

Sometimes by sharing with the students the obstacles you overcame to reach where you are today can help them overcome their fears and doubt

Showing that you care helps to form a connection with the students. When I have a student who misses a class, I telephone the student to find out what's the reason he/she was not in class and give her/him the assignment that was missed. By doing this its sends a message to the class that I need you to be present for me to teach.

I believe that it helps to give the students an overview of the course by reviewing the syllabus.

I always have my students introduce themselves and speak about their expectation from the program. I then speak about my career background.

Preparing for a class is essential it gives me confidence.

I am returning to the classroom after 10 years in the clinical area. I am now focus on developing as a competent instructor by using model, manager and motivator techniques
