Engaging with and developing a rapport with your students allows for mutual respect and growth as students and instructors.

Confidence, genuine interest in the subject matter, and a desire to watch students learn are very important traits of a good teacher.

Understanding the backgrounds of my students is a very important part to teaching them well.

It is important to vary styles in teaching to be effective to all students.

I should introduce myself but also give the students a venue to introduce themselves.

Being prepared means both before the course has started but also before each class has started.

I've gained perspective on how to be professional and not to fall into the trap of becoming pals with my students.
