I need to be prepared and timely
"Do not try to prove that you are the smartest person in the room." I have also learned the importance of researching different teaching styles to be able to incorporate the most effective and fluid teaching style for myself that will benefit my students the most.
I learned that there are many roles an instructor has, such as an authority, a disciplinarian, a cheerleader and judge and jury. I will apply these roles by making sure I know my subject, my class and apply the teaching style necessary for the subject being taught. I will encourage the students, not baby sit them or become a pal.
Always lead by example. Show your students what's expected by modeling it for them.
I have learned that professional development is ongoing. I have also learned that mistakes can happen and its beneficial to admit them and move forward. Being a professional represents you and what you are teaching.
Lead by example. Be professional at all times.
Model, Manage and Motivate.
Projecting a professional appearance can be done with body language, physical appearance and demeanor.
One of the biggest things I learned was to have an educational plan. How ever short or extensive it may be is upon the instructor.
Second- Is the model that you set for your students. You are the example of what professionalism should be.
Be supportive and motivate!
Ensure that you show the students that you are excited about your subject with enthusiasm. Model the way you want them to engage. Managed the classroom and classroom expectations. Motivate them to dive in and become successful!
What I learned from this reading is recognizing the role we hold as instructors, which is to be a role model, manager, and motivator! Having a understanding of what our job is allows us to grow and be the best educators we can be.
Projecting professionalism and being a respectful role model for the students is key in the engagement and comprehension of the material being presented to the students within the classroom environment.
very informative content, that enrich my knowledge about learning
As an educator and leader, I will continue to role model appropriate behaviors like dressing professionally, being on time and ready to start, and show confidence but not be the know it all. I will always motivate the students to do their best and provide them with the tools and resources for them to be successful.
Never think you are above the students an acknowledge you also make mistakes we are all human
I loved this section because this exactly how I act in my class. I always show respect, everyone is mister or miss, I try to always be prepared, and I always dress as a professional. I really enjoyed this section.
In order to become the best possible instructor for myself and my students, Develop a Professional Development Plan, focus on my weaknesses and seek developmental tools, use resources and other people/groups, that will allow me engagement, and the opportunity to learn and overcome my weaknesses. Thanks
Lead by example, start on time, be professional
Students see you as a model of what the field expects of them. Be professional and diligent but approachable, so your students see you as a person. We should constantly be honing our teaching skills to deliver the course material as best as possible.
