Even adult students need support and guidance.

Students cheat when provided with an opportunity.

Be wary of the students who give a lot of compliments.

Have the students engage in "ice breakers" that encourage teamwork.

It's okay to not respond to emails immediately.

Seek feedback from students on a regular basis.

I've learned that scheduled reminders are a good way to make your presence known.

I learned that different instructors will take different approaches to teach, even towards the same goals.

The first step of understanding the problem really is so important. As a math teacher, most people get stuck at the beginning of a problem because they don't really try to read or understand it.

I liked the saying: "It's not about how smart you are but how you are smart." It's important for learners to know how to figure things out and it's not just about the end goal.
