How to welcome my students and also how to try different teaching methods. Also how I am the model for them. 

Start on a positive note with engagement.  Try and facilitate a Supportive Learning Environment.

It's important to have some type of structure when lecturing.  Good lecturing notes that breakdown a subject  with bullet points or trees are good ways to stay within your topic. And although it might look good on paper practice makes it perfect and practice what you preach. 

Introduction of why we are here and who we are sets the tone to what you want to accomplish.  By giving students a background on who I am and my past experiences will help in what they need to know to past the course and ultimately get their certification.

Planning and being prepared  is important to gain the respect of students.

Your knowledge and passion about what you do as a mechanic is key.   I liked the first two videos how the instructor explained the enthusiasm of the instructor  and the second one how much he cared about his students and how he loved the field.  Not to out smart your students but to give them real life experiences and scenarios is key.  

I learned that it's important to deconstruct the three key roles we play as educators: Model, Manager, Motivator. In being a model, we show our students the standard to strive for, whether it's in our appearance, language, work ethic or demeanor. We can also take away from what was modeled to us when we were once students (what attributes do we wish to pull from, and which would we like to stay away from). In being the manager, we must learn to take command of the classroom, but balance it with being in partnership with our students so they feel… >>>

It was very interesting to learn about each style of testing and how they all pull from different styles of learning.

Questions are an important way to dig deeper into making sure the students are understanding what is going on and also a way for you to check yourself to make sure you are delivering the information clearly. 

Check with your students to see how they learn best then see if you can incorporate those styles into your lessons.
