In my lab/classroom-setting students must wear P.P.E when doing lab work. My ultimate goal as an instructor is to not only provide the basics for their field of choice, but to add "real world application" for the students to be better prepared to enter the workforce. 

Safety First; Safety Last; Safety Always.

Competency-based assessments in my field and class setting is done through "affective assessment", labs with worksheets to be graded on their knowledge of such. Utilizing different assessments give the instructor and students a clear understanding of course content retention.

Customized instruction allows adult students to feel more comfortable and confident in relation to course content. It is my belief that most people learn best by aural coupled by visual instruction. The kinesthetic style reinforces the other two styles maximizing the the students education.

The virtual vs actual lab work offers a wide variety of opportunities for todays students, but nothing beats true hands on approach. I see the the true potential to combine these techniques, in my line of work/field.

Competency based education/instructing tends to lead to better prepared student, effectively enhancing their ability for retention and higher learning.

Having a lesson plan is great way to stay on topic. It also helps clarify the order of the day for said topic. It also helps me gather the appropriate supplies needed, such as appropriate teaching aids.

I learned the importance of preparation and using various delivery methods of course content. This keeps students engaged and helps their knowledge retention.

Meet and Greet, as I did in the field with my customers I intend to do with the students. It sets a tone of familiarity and trust. The first day should be light hearted and for everyone to get to know one another. 

Educate, Equip, Encourage (and model it)

to Educate the students, I need to be educated on the subject;

to Equip, I need to be equipped for the lesson (prepared, examples, Q&A, etc...),

and to Encourage, I need to be encouraging (even when I am exhausted, not "feeling it", or going through challenges)

The flipped classroom is basically the future of teaching and if implemented well, the students will greatly benefit from it 

I have learned that the technology aspect of the flipped classroom is endless and a key component to the flipped classroom
