I like the idea of giving my students a pre test to see what they already know 

Most beneficial to me was extra credit work, I'm giving it to the wrong students.

The most helpful thing I've learned is each student is an individual and has different learning styles and I have to get to know each one.

Using one style continuously can be boring mix it up being organized and prepared

We all love stories of success it helps to stimulate enthusiasm about our chosen career path

The Instructor as a "Value Creator" Your primary role is to make the classroom experience irreplaceable. When you are prepared and organized, you demonstrate respect for your students' time. If the lesson consists of unique hands-on practice, real-time feedback, and collaborative problem-solving, the student perceives a hour"snot just as time on a log, but as a tangible gain in competency.

Knowing your students and paying attention to their responses are essential in deciding what teaching methods are the most effective for you.

Story telling as a closed ended question
