I agree with my colleagues. Don't assume you're always the smartest one in the classroom just because you're the instructor. Stay humble and lead by example.

Lesson plans help provide direction, sequence and structure.  It's always a great idea to keep your lesson plans; especially so that your director can follow along show you be evaluated.

Making sure that the focus is on the content of the slides and not the slides themselves.

I'm now better informed and equiped to teach multigenerational students by understanding their backgrounds, i.e. technology, work ethics, values, etc.

I'm learning to add new elements to my class; increase class participation and motivation.
