This has definitely been a refresher and I enjoyed the content.  We always have to remember to keep up on our own growth and personal and professional development in order to provide the best to our students.  Be a positive role model and a cheerleader to your students.  I always feel that I learn something new from the students and they learn from me as well.

I liked the refresher on the different types of assessments and when and when not to use them.

In this module I enjoyed the information on CATS - small-scale assessment techniques.  I will be using some of these techniques going forward.

I have always stood by and truly believe - There are no dumb questions.

When questioning students, I now realize that I have been guilty of asking a lot of broad-ranged questions, which often leave the students "dazed" and "confused" they are desperately searching for an answer they think I am looking for.  I am definitely going to be more mindful of the types of questions I ask, open-ended, close-ended etc.

As instructors, we often tailor our lessons/lectures to our learning style as was said in the material.  Sometimes this may be out of ease, forgetfulness, or even time constraints.  I know that when I tailor the lesson/lecture to the majority of my student's learning styles, they are more successful.  I find that switching up how you present material is important so the learner can also become more flexible in the different ways of learning.  I believe having the learner be an active part of the lesson/lecture is vital as well.

Interesting the attention span of 15-18 minutes, retention of  25% of what we heard, 40% of what we read, comprehend 5-7 items.  These are valuable data when planning a lecture or presentation.

I am having trouble imagining listening 4X "faster" than speaking. ???

The first class session sets the tone .

I like to be prepared and organized before making a presentation.  Research on topic done, sequence of course content, able to give interesting examples, etc.  I always feel much more confident when I know what I'm talking about.  I find it easier to explain something if I have learned it myself.

Modeling appearace, behavior, accountability, respect, kindness, compassion and desire to grow as an individual and as an instructor.

Use a variety of teaching methods to reach the most students. Remember that people only retain a fraction of the information that is given to them. Practice experiments ahead of time. Always be prepared and keep lecturing to a short time.
