Creating a lesson plan to follow has helped me stay on task throughout the course. Not having a lesson plan in the start of my teaching career has left me disorganzied and off task. Delivery Methods was a very interesting topic. I learned some new ways to delivery my material.

This section was very interesting. Not only do the students feel anxiety, I feel anxiety as well the first night of class. Introductions are a great way to combat nervousness. During my time teaching, I have come to the conclusion that telling the students something personal makes them feel more at ease.

Currently, I am teaching an Industrial Safety and a Blueprint reading course. I absolutely love the fact that I manage my fathers Machine Shop as my full-time job. I have access to and endless amount of real world situations. To be honest, without having the resources I do, I don't think I would be able to teach the course.

In the past two years, I have noticed that the more comfortable the classroom is, the easier going the students are. When the students are not all stressed out and uncomfortable, I feel that they retain more of the instructional material that was taught to them.

Being an instructor is a rewarding job. One of the biggest challenges I face is keeping the students motivated. I have learned in order to keep them motivated you must be persistent in keeping the classroom real. Bringing real life situations into the class keeps them motivated.
