This module actually will aid me in becoming a better teacher.  I will be attentive to the students, my style, and look for any disconnects which will deter the learning process.

I thought this was very useful. IT made me think of teaching in a different light.

Developing as an instructor

I learned that in evolving as an instructor, I'm going to be able to point out my own flaws as an educator. I am not going to get it right 100% of the time, however I need to be ok with someone telling me I'm wrong, and learning from it, and using that to make me a better educator.

great learning

I really enjoyed this module because it reminded me of the reason I got into education in the first place. Students need positive role models-someone they can look up to, learn from, an feel supported by. I learned that as an instructor, or even simply as someone in leadership role, it's essential to always set the standard and lead by example. We have the responsibility to show our students what professionalism, compassion, and dedication look like in the field.

Incorporating activities like case studies, group discussions, and simulation enhances critical thinking and helps students bridge the gap between knowledge and clinical practice.

Instructional Skills

course

ED101

As an instructor, I find this course highly valuable because it clearly outlines the fundamental roles and responsibilities of teachers in educational settings. The focus on planning, preparation, and effective delivery of course content is particularly helpful for building confidence in new educators. Additionally, the practical strategies for managing the first class meeting are essential for setting a positive tone from the start. Even as an experienced teacher, I appreciate the opportunity to revisit and strengthen these core teaching skills.

Collaborative teaching and learning

Keep an open mind that everyone's opinion and contribution to building collaborative learning is important.  Opinions matter, and they can be different. This helps to bring respect and trust.  I believe this will foster growth and provide an opportunity to expand on different teaching methods.
