AS A LEADER WE ARE TO BE LEADING BY EXAMPLE. WHICH INCLUDE BEING A GOOD ACTIVE LISTENER, COMMUNICATOR, PROFESSIONAL, AND HAVING OUR DEVELOPMENTAL PLAN IN PLACE. 

Showing up for your class and students which includes presenting yourself in a professional and timely manner.

I try not to lecture more than about 10 minutes at a time before having a pair and share discussion or another activity. 

I would like to explain to them my diverse background of different careers. This may help some students relate or open up to me in the future. 

It's not just about the syllabus and objective, but class culture/learning environment. Students want to know what kind of teach they have and part of that comes from the environment. 

Continue to learn in the profession/skill that you are teaching. Lead your students by example.

Never ignore student's reaction. Continue forming groups of diverse sutudents

The importance of connections among students and between you and your students.

This information will guide the instructor in various approaches to utilize in the educational experience.  I would say try several methods to see what works best for you.  When taking risks, take small steps, one at a time.  

This presentation was excellent and helped me think about implementing activities that would hold the students' interest and increase participation in the class.
