It is important to lead by example, get to know your students to find common ground to better help them help themselves. Taking the time to do that shows the students that you care about them, and they will more than likely be more motivated to put the effort in.
monitoring is important to see that a student is progressing in self-development and achieving their goals
It is true that the teachers I remember the most were the ones who engaged with me and got to know me.
I learned that we need to keep contact with students so that we can hold them accountable.
Accountability, we must hold our students accountable. If we set the rules/expectations to follow then we must make sure our students do them. If they think it's ok to not do it then that allows them to slack off.
I found it interesting that both modeling and mentoring will fall apart if we do not do a good job at monitoring
It is so important to engage with the students and really mentor and support them
Important to model what we teach
Engaging with students across campus can make a big impact on them.
constant interaction with students helps increase content retention
To effectively model, mentor, and monitor my students as an instructor, I will start by clearly articulating my personal goals and intentions. This transparency fosters an environment of trust and collaboration, showing students that their success is a shared priority. Regularly reminding them that I am here to guide and support them not only motivates them but also encourages open communication.
Additionally, I will implement structured check-ins and feedback sessions, allowing students to reflect on their progress and set achievable goals. By providing constructive feedback and celebrating their achievements, I can create a positive learning atmosphere where students feel empowered to take ownership of their educational journey.
Like others here have mentioned, modeling, mentoring, and monitoring are essential for our students to succeed. My students don’t just learn from what I say, but from what I do as well. It’s important for me to model the behaviors and attitudes I want to see in them. Mentoring plays a huge role in the classroom—repetition and offering different viewpoints help students truly grasp concepts. By monitoring their progress on projects, I’m able to ensure no one falls behind. Being present for students, even outside of class, shows them that we care and are invested in their success.
My stand in life is to "make a difference in people's lives and have an impact on the world." I strive to do that with every interaction with my students. When we model, mentor, and monitor, we create an environment where students feel supported and motivated to reach their goals in life.
I will be more attentive to those that I feel might have low self-efficacy. Most of those students might be the ones that lack experience. I will check in with them often to reinforce their confidence within themselves, in order to meet our retention goals.
It's important for the students to know we care and we are here for them throughout their schooling or career in college. The students should feel that they are able to come to us and we will help them. So it's important for us to be mindful, available, and provide the specific attention they require from us.
The model, mentor and monitor module reminds me to check-in with all students frequently. Make a connection and follow-up with students frequently. One method I've found to be effective is chatting with a student who was absent the day prior and acknowledging the absence. "hello, is everything ok? i noticed you were absent yesterday... please check-in with me when we have a few moments so we can review what you missed yesterday"
Communication and follow up are paramount.
Be sympathetic and Empathetic with the students show them you care with actions of noticing abnormal pattern changes.
I often try to interact with as many students as I can to ask about their day. The small gesture goes a long way.
I have noticed a difference with my students just by visiting with them everyday before class
Model = BE the example
Mentor = contact, listen and follow up
Monitor = Check in and hold accountable
Do all of these with care and sincerity.
Repeat.
