leadership and critical thinking with emotional quiotent goes a long way in building trust among with peers and students.

Better Interpersonal relationships can be established with higher emotional quotient. Student teacher bonding is must to understand the body language and communicating effectively which not being rude.

To be a great instructor, I learnt that he or she needs to have good softskills to build trust among peers and students.

I learnt that soft skills are more essential than hardskills. Hardskills can make you get degrees but it is about how effective are you communicating with your team ( here students) is what that matters. If you know the subject well but you cannot deliver it in the right way it is of no use. How you are able to manage the team ( students) is more imporatant than hardskills.

Technology enhances learning by improving student engagement, collaboration, motivation, and knowledge retention. Instructors should introduce technology gradually and use it purposefully to support learning outcomes and develop career readiness skills.

Leaders should engage and encourage group discussions, listen to everyone’s ideas, establish shared goals, and agree on team values before assigning tasks. This builds unity, trust and a positive team.

One of  my biggest takeaways was the importance of teaching the students how to think critically rather than simply memorize information. the IDEALS framework provides a practical approach to helping students analyses problems, consider different perspective, evaluate possible solutions and make informed decisions.I also learned about the blooms taxonomy and KWL charts and intend to apply these concepts by incorporating real world scenarios, group discussions that require them to analyses information, think critically, communicate effectively and make appropriate decisions.
