Leadership, respect and connect with students in a level they can understand and feel encouraged, understood and cared for. Leading by example and connect with other instructors to integrate ideas.
Incorporating the essential requirements of being a good role model, a good manager of my class, and being a motivator to my students is what I have taken away from this module.
Never assume you are the smartest in the room.
The students come first. We need to learn how to be flexible and work with them according to their learning style.
As an instructor, we are constantly growing and improving ourselves and learning techniques.
I learned about Model, Manager, and Motivator.
The competencies in 3 major areas: Technical, professionalism, and personal.
Lastly, instructional styles.
Three major rolls educational processes played by instructor's of their students. * Model, * Manager, * Motivator.
Key ingredient in students success is the instructors ability to develop rapport with them based on mutual respect and personal support.
I think that continuing education or conferences in order to improve my skills is my biggest take-away.
Be prepared, be organized, be EARLY. But also, be flexible, be open, and be humble.
Model, Manage, and Motivate, along with having a professional development plan.
In this module, I have learned by being an instructor it is important to act professional. Do not teach with arrogance and acting as if I am the smartest in the classroom. To make sure I teach with enthusiasm so the students can stay interested.
Learning is the most important thing going on in the classroom; not teaching.
Lead by example! If you want to produce professionals, you need to be one!
Being humanly human with a professional attitude and demeaner with your students.
The essence of effective teaching lies the conveying information with an impressive demeanor rather than a sophisticated attitude in the classroom. This sense of confidence enables an instructor to embody the roles of the role model, a facilitator, and a motivator for learners. Professional Development is also critical element to be supportive of continuous teaching skill enhancement.
It is important to be professional and set up a good example for my students. Be an effective communicator and an active listener.
Model, Motivate and Maintain Professionalism
As a new instructor, to give myself grace and also be ready to learn new things and adapt.
Be an example and model of professionalism!
Being a “Model, Manager, and Motivator” is a new concept for me. I have always known to act in a professional manner but never thinking about how this 3 in 1 model can really change the way students see you as their instructor. If someone were to ask me prior to taking this course how I viewed being a “manager,” I would have immediately just thought about all the ways the instructor is responsible for taking control over the class. I never thought about all the things that need to happen prior to the class starting and how those responsibilities can really impact the tone of the class.
