As a leader, keep it professional and have an individualized Plan
come to class and show your professionalism, come dressed right speak clearly and confidently.
Model, manage, motivate.. Lead by example and connect with your students early. Use a teaching style accommodating to them and pay attention to body gestures, language, behaviors. Always be professional, make sure there are no technicalities during your lessons by preparing early, and deliver with your personality/ demeanor.
To make sure new skills are applied in the classroom and how to incorporate them into my daily routine.
Lead by example in attitude and professionalism.
Remind yourself what you loved about previous teachers. We've all had instructors who made a difference or made class interesting and fun. What can I do as a teacher, using my own strengths and experience, to help motivate the students in a similar way?
Always come to class prepared and ready.
I learned that you have to be both professional and personal to be effective in the classroom.
In addition to functioning as a leader, the course has helped me to come up with strategies to develop techniques to explain complex concepts clearly and concisely, breaking down information into manageable parts.
Have patience, compassion, and professionalism.
I must continually monitor myself be prepared to make changes when necessary to improve.
Professionalism continues through the entire course.
Comment on Bryan Matthews's post: Perfect
Continually monitor myself and don't be afraid to admit I must change something!
The 5 C's (Credible, Candid, Compassionate, Committed, Clear) and "Model, Manage, Motivate," are very clear and concise ways to remember my duties as an instructor.
I have learned that it is most important to model myself in a way the exhibits my love of the field i am teaching, This is an aspect i dint think about before, this will be my first exposure to instructional teaching.
Professionalism sets the tone.
Comment on Gary Wilkerson's post: Humility is always a good thing. I thin k it important to let your students shine, let them articulate a point or present information to their classmates.
The biggest takeaways for me: one of the best ways to motivate students is to help them see the progress they are making. A key ingredient in the success of students is the ability to develop a rapport with them. Arrive to class 15 minutes early, arrange your space, talk with students and open class with enthusiasm.
As instructors we can always learn, grow and better ourselves. We must always lead by example and consider the " 5 C's" Our students success is our success so learn your students and model,manage and motivated them.
Lead by example, know your strengths work on your weakness, and practice!
