It is important to adjust the instructional method to accommodate all learning styles since all students are different. There needs to be a variety of teaching styles incorporated to ensure that each student can grasp the concept. I need to prepare ahead of time, so that I am prepared even when I've taught the same thing numerous times in the past. 

It is important that in the beginning of the course that as the instructor you introduce yourself so that students can understand who you are and develop a sense of similarity with themselves. It is essential for students to understand who their instructor is that way they can open up freely to express their thoughts throughout the semester. This will allow students to alleviate any nervous energy or concerns.

It is important to set clear rules and expectations for students on how the course will be conducted. If I create a syllabus that supports my course objectives and expectations, then students will understand what will be expected throughout the course. I will be able to reinforce the expectations throughout the course, but the expectations will be generally understood from the beginning.

Professors should lead by example through professionalism and open communication. We must model, manage and motivate our students as they encounter our classes to keep them engaged and active in their learning process.
