I am grateful to work for a company that believes that good leadership skills can be developed. As they saw the potential in me long before I saw it in myself. I have many supervisors or managers that I report to. Every one of them have shown me grace as I grow in my position. They are great role models for me to look up. They all have their own style and personalities, and it has been extremely helpful to get feedback and support from all of them.

New to supervising

An Important lesson I will walk away with today is, that supervisors or management that often change their management style can come off inconsistent and phony to employees. That always staying yourself while make slight changes is the way to go. I feel this is a good advice as I am new to a role as supervisor. I am constantly growing and learning better more effective ways to do my job. I need to remember to stay true to myself and my personality while making those improvements to my performance as a supervisor.

Delivering Course Content | Origin: ED101

The average attention span of an adult learner is 15-18 minutes. I found this extremely informative. As teachers we need to be aware of Statics like this so when we are teaching through lecture, we make sure we are breaking it up into 15 min intervals. That we make sure that we are being engaging while we are teaching. We need to plan out lectures to make sure we are getting the content across to students in a way that will excite them and keep their attention.
