The thought of having actual learning happening in the classroom is amazing, it motivates instructors to be creative and to engage students in the learning process. 

It is important for instructor to adapt the teaching to the learning styles of students. It is important to keep the students engaged on the learning process. 

Judge student as a person that can not learn because English is their second language it is a huge mistake. Instructor need to keep their mind open and create teaching techniques to improve student's literacy. 

Culture is part of the student identity, it is essential for the instructor to know student's culture. The instructor will know what is important for the students to learn and to enhance engagement with the course content. 

It is essential to know your group of students, the instructor needs to pay attention of the differences between the group of students. The instructor will use different teaching methods to include everyone learning style.

It is important to create confident in the students, they need to know they can create effective solutions to different problems. That, they can adapt to situations that need different solutions. They need to know they are capable to reach their goals. 

It is important to have common sense, to have listening skills, to value others and to have emotional intelligence. It is essential for the instructor to guide students to utilize their  thinking skills and emotions to understand situations and create solutions. After that, to evaluate their interventions and keep creating interventions until reaching the main goal. 

Discipline is an important concept in learning and critical thinking, I agree the students need to learn to do their part in learning. I apply interventions during my classes that encourage students to apply their own ideas and create solutions. 

I have learned that it is essential as a Professor to guide my students to become independent learners. It is important for them to continue learning, but the important part is to provide them with the tools to become life-long learners. During my classes I will teach them how to scan for essential information and how to absorb the knowledge and apply it later.
