Role modeling professional behavior is easily one of the most impactful takeaways you can carry out of a course. Students absorb far more from how an instructor conducts themselves—their tone, fairness, punctuality, and respect—than from direct instruction alone.

I find that probing is my best technique to get reluctant students to engage in class discussions.

Asking questions, whether closed or open, after a lecture is an effective way to stimulate critical thinking during class discussion.

When engaging the students in discussion or physical(Lab) participation, it not only engages the two students involved but tends to create a class discussion.  This also is a way of the students introducing themselves to each other.  I find it's a win all around.  I love to see students learning from each other. 

I've learned that different teaching style apply to different students.  Each student is an individual and should be treated as such.

I feel like I just got a masterclass on classroom dynamics 101. All the information was informative and gave me a deeper understanding of how to conduct a classroom.  I love how the process can put the students' minds at ease and create an environment that facilitates  learning.  

How take the knowledge and skills obtained throughout my career and apply it in an instructor setting to empower, guide, and instruct future Healthcare professionals.

I have learned that becoming an effective educator is a science.  It's much more than knowing the subject matter; it involves becoming a counselor, a manager, a motivator, and  more.  It is a journey, and there are tools to improve my ability to educate students.

Proper planning is very important as it helps you to operate smoothly with minor errors. Keeping notes and ideas generally help to stay on task throughout a course.

I learned the difference in being an instructor and being someone who knows how to do the trade. Although I've learned, developed, and worked in my skill, teaching someone else the proper way to succeed will be different than what I've experienced thus far. Something that will stick with me is " Don't say that you're the smartest in the room because there's always someone smarter".
