Remembering that there will be a dip at the start of the group as they figure out roles and how to work off each others strengths is huge. It will help to be present to minimize this part of a group work time. 

Critical thinking is very important for students now. Analytical skills, Communication, Creativity, and Open-mindedness are huge for students to become career ready in any field. 

Having a committed advisory council can help make connections and build the program for the future and help students become more excited the subject. 

Developing workplace manners and how to be professional is important for a lot of students. Making sure students aren't using slang or curse words is a big part of this for students today. 

Having the classroom be a workplace and setting up what a student would want or need is an easy transition for students who are trying to start the SBE. 

I think if done correctly, this can really engage a good majority of students. Those who are excited to earn money in the field and bring real world experiences to the students. 

This section reminded me to focus on the process not the outcome. Working with students that have a baseline of very little and not worried if we aren't perfect to start but that we grew over our time together. 

I think focusing on students getting the answers and understanding is vital for what we want to accomplish as teachers. 

I learned that having students share their knowledge and hear from their peers helps to create a better way of learning and developing stronger ideas and knowledge for the student. 

I learned the importance of productive talking. Also different ways to engage those classes to what help them with motivation to participate in the class.
