Understanding the different ways of learning will help with explaining lecture and keeping students engaged.

It made me think more about the various aspects that influence the perception of you as an instructor and how to model professionalism to both students and staff! 

What I have learned is making the first day important so that you can get your students involved and what to expect throughout the day.

The ability to distinguish when I am using passive vs active voice. Active voice tends to provide more focus or clarity but is also more narrow. Passive is seems to be more broad spectrum and addresses more, this is why its commonly used in procedures, processes and policies than in direct communication. 

 

Also, the general education facilitators evaluations was an important element to me, this is where the learners "learn" how to interact orally or in a written manner. 

What I have learned from this is coming in early and speaking with the students so I can get to know them. Making sure I have a proper time to plan my day out so I have checklist and an idea of what I have planned for the day. 

From this course I learned how to speak professionally and how to dress professionally.  I also learned to be there before class to make sure that if students need me that I am here to help them with any problems. 

From this course I have learned the importance of adaptability, clear communication, and understanding diverse learning styles.

So far this course has set out some good reminders-- that though we are routing for our students, to always remember there is a line that should not be crossed. -- this is important for everyone involved. 

Fidgeting is one of my main issues.  I make sure to set the slide clicker down and gesture with my arms vs a digital white board in my hand. 

Keep the students engaged by moving throughout the classroom, making sure the tone in my voice is light and energetic and my concepts are relatable to draw in the students.
