Very Important! This is how you maintain continuity with all of your courses each Term.

Learning styles especially for our adult learners is very important. Alot of them don't know their learning styles due to being out of school for so long. So, we do a little test at the beginning of my course that outlines some pertinent information that assists them with knowing what type of learner they are. It assists with the success of the class.
I believe that you must begin with being professional yourself as an instructor. You must also remember that respect begets respect. Once the students see that you are there to assist in their success a positive classroom environment should follow.

I have found in my classroom that this type of learning assists with the learning needs of all type of learners. It also allows people to work together as a team.
It is highly imperative that the instructor has a postive take on all aspects of the students education. Even when they fail giving them positive feedback is important.
As instructors I feel asthough knowing your class as a whole and each students needs is very important when it comes to motivating your students. It is also important for us to remeber that things that we feel are motivating might not be motivating to them.
This was a great piece because it reflected on not only the student but the instructor also. As instructors we need to remeber that we also need a little boost to assist us with the 150% that our students need.
As instructors we must remeber that each of our students should be treated with respect. Being aware of their individual educational needs places a huge value in their educational success.

After going over this first module I have come up with a new technique to use in my upcoming class. I will create study groups and place them according to their age group and experiences. I think this will take them out of their safe haven and encourage them to think out of the box.

Being organized inside and out is very important as an instructor.  Your students watch everything you do and they will respect you more if they see that you are on top of things.  Being organized will also assist with time management and decreasing stress.
