If students are confident on their skills performance will be better.

I’ve learned that flipping the classroom approach increases engagement, encourages responsibility for learning, and gives instructors more time to support students individually. Overall, the flipped classroom promotes more active and meaningful learning.

I learned that student motivation comes from feeling supported, confident, and connected to the learning. Encouragement, clear goals, and recognizing progress can make a big difference in how engaged students are. I also learned that showing enthusiasm and making lessons relevant helps keep students interested. I plan to apply this by offering positive feedback, setting clear expectations, and creating an encouraging environment where students feel motivated to participate and succeed.

I learned that students are more likely to stay in a course when they feel supported and encouraged.

Slow down and build rapport.

Understanding the student allows you to custom the material for that student

I learned quite a bit from this section-

1. making eye contact w/the students when they are talking instead of focusing on a separate task
2. when there is an excessive talker-assign them the role of taking notes on the key points discussed and then they will share the key points in a brief discussion
3. encouraging students to share a learning experience in the second half of the module to not only allow them to recognize their growth but also show to their peers that this is doable and possibly trigger a new learning experience
4. initiating a simulated crisis event to help
