The characteristics and behaviors of my past teachers and instructors that have motivated me the most are organization, caring, empathy, consistency, knowledge, and respect. I appreciate teachers who are well-organized, passionate about what they teach, and knowledgeable in their subject area. Teachers who show genuine care, understanding, and empathy create a positive learning environment where students feel supported, valued, and encouraged. Consistency and respect alsohelp build trust and make students feelcomfortable asking questions, expressing themselves, andlearning from their mistakes. These qualities motivate me to stay engaged, work hard, and succeed.

Every student or class, at some point may need a break -whether for bad weather on the drive into class, hard economic news, information overload. Looking for signs that may indicate a break is needed, before additional material is covered, can be as important as covering the last two headlines in a PowerPoint. 

I learned from this course segment that there are  primary and secondary needs involved with a student's success. Bothe of these play a vital role in understanding how most successfully lead a student toward meeting his or her goal.

I’ve learned that I can support student retention by building trust, connecting lessons to students’ goals, and sharing examples from my own work experiences. When I explain how I used a skill on the job—and what I learned from challenges—students can better see how classroom learning applies to real careers. That personal connection can help students feel encouraged, engaged, and ready to keep learning.

An instructor who understands students' interests, needs, and goals does more than teach technical skills; they build confidence, motivation, career direction, and lifelong learning habits that can influence students' success for years to come.

When creating standards and expectations for the class, surely issues can arise throughout the duration which may cause us to make exceptions for particular students at our discretion. How do we ensure that we maintain a standard while also showing empathy to one's situation? How do we minimize these occurrences and maintain order so that the gray area is minimal?

What would be some methods to get students more engaged and participate during group discussions.

Es muy importante aplicar la Gamificación en el aula. Aprendí que varias actividades que ya utilizaba, como los cuestionarios con retroalimentación inmediata, el seguimiento del progreso, las insignias de logro y los desafíos colaborativos, son en realidad elementos de gamificación. Antes los consideraba simplemente estrategias de enseñanza y no componentes de la gamificación.
