Different kinds of testing are designed to show students how much they know versus how much they do not know.

When students are not asking questions, asking them questions can show their understanding on a subject matter.

Education should be dialogue-and exchange between instructor and student. 

I learned that everybody learns differently and that it is good to cater to each style of learning.

Students can lose their enthusiasm about a subject area quickly if they don't know how they are doing. Immediate feedback shows what they are doing well and which areas the need to focus on. 

Rapport is the development of trust, respect, and identification of common goals. By having rapport with students, instructors will have fewer student management issues and increased focus on learning.

By setting the expectations high, we are showing students the examples of competency levels required for advancement within a career field. In which will gain respect from students as everything is relevant to their success. 

I learned that one way to help students be successful is to look at the environment through the eyes of the students. Being mindful of how the classroom or laboratory is setup and if I could do anything to improve it is key to keeping students motivated. 

15-18 minutes is about the attention span of an adult. knowing this, I intend to use mini lectures to keep students engaged. 

By sharing about your career experience you are establishing yourself as a person of expertise and Authority.
