I have learned about the importance of professional development in regards to teaching.
To not attempt to prove to the class that you are the smartest person in the room, and to make sure the students know that you care for them.
Admit mistake and move on, lead by example. Dont be a pal
I really took to point the discussions about being yourself when you are trying to establish your teaching style and how things can go sideways if you try to emulate or act differently. I feel that being true to yourself and confident in the knowledge we have acquired in the field will help our students pick up on this and feel confident in the material we teach.
Convince the students that you:
- Love the subject
- Love them
To motivate students, you most show the 5 "c's" and be enthusiatic about the subject you are teaching.
Professionalism and being a competent instructor
Be excited about being there to instructor them in this subject. Don't assume you are the smartest person in the room. Lead my example and listen to your students so you can become a more effective instructor. Always be prepared to adjust your approach to become a more effective instructor. Never stop learning.
Lead by example. You as the leader must always take point.
find your style so you can be the best instructor as possible
- "Learning is the most important thing going on in the classroom/laboratory, not teaching. This is student-first teaching.
That is so true! In order to have an environment to learn, we need to be motivators in our areas of expertise!
Be passionate come early create an environment of learning
I think this module was an effective reminder that as an instructor, I am responsible to lead the class by example and motivate them to try their best.
My key take away point was don't approach the class with the attitude of showing how smart I am or how competent, but let students see how much I love the subject and them as well.

It is important to develop a plan in order to improve teaching skills.
Lead by example and Take responsibility
A an instructor i will begin workin gon my personal developement plan. As a new instructor I have a great dal to learn.
Model and lead by example. What you do, how you say things, and how you dress makes a huge impact on your students.
We're not just teachers, we are role models, managers, and motivators. We have to lead by example and stay professional.
Always lead by example and be a mentor to facilitate success.
