Student retention is important! We want everyone to start and finish the program they want to attend, by doing so you need to be transparent, honest, detailed, enthusiastic etc.

It makes sense that teachers should pay attention to the psychology of there student. What are their characteristics, so you can match there learning ability more

I learned the styles of teaching and how students process the information - I learned to be adaptable in the classroom to make sure you are providing teaching styles for all your students to the learn/retain as much as a they can. 

The little things matter - taking the time to smile, greet your students, provide your name on the board, telling them info about you so they feel more comfortable getting to know you as a teacher, therefore providing a better environment to learn 

I learned about the five areas to focus on for teaching success; 

Selecting the right content 

Setting good goals/ motivate 

providing written instructions to get to said goals 

Selecting the right format

Forming your teaching style 

Being an effective leader and mentor. Knowing your self, peers and students to better accomadate the environment and your teaching style
