Instructors should serve as role model and as an inspiration for student to strive for further education within the culinary field. It’s imperative for the industry to guide students with passion and the to encourage them to constantly improve their skill and craft to all parts of the industry.

It is also important for us to continually be educating ourselves whether it be with food trends, food science, latest ingredients, food politics, food systems.

Constant feedback and interaction from the instructor is a great way of making the student aware of what to expect in the real culinary world. Using rubrics, timelines, teamwork practices will prepare the student to be effective as a team player.

Cross-curricular education is an important tool to incorporate while building a foundation in a culinary program. 

Comment on Brandon Walker's post:  Its essential to understand and differentiate generational learning and work ethic strengths and weaknesses.

practice a variety of delivery methods when conducting your lectures. practice and make notes after each lecture, to revisit when conducting your next lesson plan. variety is the key to keeping your students engaged.

Introducing yourself to your students and sharing your professional experience will give your student s a sense of security and understanding of your leadership and goals. also, get to know your students, creating a familiar and warm place for them to learn will increase their passion for their career and educational goals.  

keys to a students success are proper planning and clarity of goals. Checklist, syllabus, daily planning and noters are instruments to ensure you have a clear vision and understanding to pass on to your students.

this course really helped and encouraged me to understand how to develop my instructional skills and ways that I can continue to improve, connect and inspire my students. By displaying leadership my skills and having confidence in my many years of experience, I can demonstrate learning tools that will further their knowledge and inspire their desire to learn and grow.
