From this module, I learned how important it is to connect theoretical concepts with real-world application, which strongly relates to the value of internships. Internships provide students with hands-on experience where they can apply classroom knowledge in practical settings, helping them better understand expectations and develop workplace skills. I intend to apply this by incorporating more real-world examples and encouraging students to seek internship opportunities, so they can bridge the gap between learning and professional practice.

From this module, I learned the value of using the Socratic questioning method to deepen students’ understanding rather than simply delivering information. By asking structured, thought-provoking questions, I can guide students to analyze concepts, challenge assumptions, and arrive at answers independently. I intend to apply this in my classroom by incorporating more guided questioning during discussions and problem-solving activities, especially in case-based scenarios, to encourage critical thinking and active participation.

Using different learning styles in my classroom has shown me that students grasp concepts in very different ways, so a single teaching method is not effective for everyone. Incorporating a mix of visual, discussion-based, and hands-on approaches has improved engagement and helped me identify students’ actual understanding. It has also made me more flexible and reflective in how I deliver content.
 
 I specifically liked the idea of using the Learning needs assessments and will be encouraging students to not only learn ideas in their own way but to also grasp other concepts. 

Prepare and practice materials and demonstration prior to going live. 

I have learned and acknowledged ways of how students retain information better and faster.

I feel more confidence!  I feel I have better approaches to deliver information to students and help them apply what they learned in the field. 

I plan to use/integrate all 4 major learning styles (written, visual, auditory, and kinesthetic) into my lectures, labs, and clinical settings.  I feel this information is going to have a phenomenal positive impact on my teaching career!  I am so grateful I am going through this training.

The role of an instructor is not only to teach but to be a motivating role model that is professional both in classroom and outside with continued development of their profession. 

Introducing yourself to students is important, take the time to get to know them. Plan activities that serve as an ice breaker. Learn their names. 

Organization is extremely important, it set the tone for the students for what to expect in the course. With proper preparation instructors can head off problems before they become overwhelming.

Good refresher on professional conduct, as a life-long learner this course builds previous knowledge, but provides deeper information on the topic.
