I have learned that it is important to keep my students engaged in the lesson. Instead of having the same people answer every time, I will have to ask for someone who hasn't had a chance to participate to either answer a question or help me to solve a problem. It is also good to surprise my students with a story or switching up the flow of class a bit just to keep them engaged. 

I have learned that it's important continue to encourage your students instead of telling them, "You are falling behind on your assignments and need to catch up." You should you should say, "Hey, I see that you are behind on your assignments. Is there anything I can help you with?" Or, "Let's meet at the end of class and come up with a plan to help you get to where you need to be."

I find that it is important to know that every student is not the same. it is imperative to learn my students and get to know them so that I can cater to their needs. By knowing what goal that they are trying to achieve, I can also incorporate that in the lesson so that it's relatable to them.
