It continues to be essential that we are able to determine everyone's personality and level of understanding so that we can teach and have everyone learn the same content using various methods.
I will need to incorporate learning styles and characteristics into my classrooms.
I have learned that personality traits are very important not only for the instructor, but for the learner as well.
The characteristics of a successful teacher and a successful online learner were helpful. I will share these with future students.
I like the idea of shifting gears when an instructor realizes something is not working. This can be done successfully without altering the content of the course, but shifting gears may help students feel a bit more of community and become more engaged.
I learned that successful instructors create a supportive, warm, and caring environment that fosters mutual respect, collaboration, and a sense of community. They set high expectations, are enthusiastic, and lead by example. They are also adaptable, willing to change their teaching approach based on student needs, and always focus on professional development.

I have learned that teachers or professors need to understand the likes of the students and be able to shift gear in their manner of teaching.
I have learned the importance of aligning personality traits and teaching styles to create an effective and supportive learning environment. Successful instructors are warm, accessible, and collaborative, setting high expectations while fostering mutual respect and a sense of community. Understanding students' learning traits, such as curiosity, resilience, and motivation, is key to helping them thrive. I intend to apply this knowledge by incorporating a blended teaching style that adapts to students’ needs, promotes active learning, and encourages open communication, ensuring a dynamic and inclusive classroom environment.
Recognizing the abilities of our students should help guide our instruction and being open-minded to adjustments directly relates to success.
I was interesting learning about how there is a connection between the ION and the TC colors personality traits.
I believe that incorporating several teaching modalities supports transfer of knowledge.
In delivering a hybrid curriculum, it benefits the students when combining lecture/ coach based teaching styles. It is important for the students to develop their critical thinking skills to be successful as a Sonographer.
Comment on SETH SORONNADI's post: One of the ways we set a sense of community is by having students comment on the works of others in their cohort. Over time they learn to trust their cohort and recognize the journey an online program can create a sense of family with individuals that may be 1000s of miles away.
