It is important to be a role model inside and outside of the classroom. Being prepared for each class sets the tone for the students.
Be the leader in your class room and lead by example.
I learned a few things. The biggest takeaway is to be an encourager but not a friend because it ruins the student-teacher relationship.
We must always display passion with our professionalism. Passion is contagious and motivates our students. As others have said, leading, modeling, motivating and managing are prime things to maintain a forward leaning classroom.
This module has taught me the significance of demonstrating professional conduct through different means such as attire, speech, punctuality, etc. Moreover, it has emphasized the value of devising a strategy and continually investing in personal growth as an educator or leader in the classroom.
It is important for to have a plan for how I am going to learn new information and techniques that will make me better as an instructor. Participating in professional development workshops. Most importantly, leading by example for my students.
Professionalism is important because it involves all areas of one's work.
The biggest thing i got is to set the standard on how you want the class to go and what you want your students to take out of it.
As an instructor you should always model professionalism and lead by example. Always look for ways to grow and develop yourself and your students.

I still love the quote of the 6 P's, "Purposeful Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance." In the military we said it just a little bit different.
Adapt teaching style to suit students collectively or individually.
Be a positive role model, be a good listener and motivator. Always expand my knowledge, Instructors are life-learners.
Comment on Gary Wilkerson's post: Agreed with this post. Always humble yourself.
Model, manage and motivate.
Conduct myself as professionally in the classroom as I would in the field- if not, more so.
Everyone teaches differently, you have to stay true to yourself and what you know. Also, never stop learning.
Do not be a know it all. Someone is always smarter than you. Go into the classroom each day with an air of excitement and motivation and that may help to set the tone for your students.
Professionalism is how we lead in our classrooms and build report and credibility with our students.
Be a leader and model in the classroom. 5 C'S
To be Professional at all times in every situation by being on time to class, by knowing the material that I am teaching and To motivate the students and learn each student and find what keeps them motivated. To let the students know that I am not the smartest person in the class and everyone is human and will make mistakes. Finally by showing the students that I care, love and is excited to teach them and be their instructor.
Comment on Tanika Powers's post:
I can completely relate to everything that you are saying. I’m very knowledgeable in my technical skills as well. I have also struggled with staying on task.
what I have learned to incorporate into actually do more one on one. And allow my students to facilitate every now and then.
In doing that my students seem to pay more attention when they have another student facilitating the class.
Get sidetracked because like you I care too much also.
