make sure the students feel like you actually care about what you're presenting and their success, be human, and have them leave the first class with an understanding of where they're going and how they're going to get there.

It is important to be as prepared as possible before each class, be transparent so your students always know what to expect about their education, and keeping a notepad with reminders on the needs of individual students as well as the class as a whole.

I have leanred while it is mperative to be able to track and recognize students' accomplishmanets and personal growth, it is just as important to do it for myself as an instuctor. Having a personal growth plan is a great way to do that.
