Preparation and preparedness are key to setting up a successful learning environment. Being as detailed as possible with clear definitions and expectations, will set everyone, including the instructor, up for sucess and leaves little room for misunderstandings. Development of a good syllabus sets the tone for the class and I appreacited how it was compared to a contract between instructor and student. That is what holds all party accountable and breeds a common ground for learning. 

I will always lead by example and be humbe to know that learning can occur anywhere. I remember teachers who were fair but also motivated me and I know that is what kind of teacher I want to be. I also liked the "5-C's" and feel they are a good blue print for developing a good taching strategies. Being self aware is another very important process in becoming a good educator and role model for our students.
