I learned that the main purpose of a test is to measure what students do know rather than identify what they don't.

I learned that active learning means that students can make application of knowledge and skills they have developed.

I learned that by using different types of questions you give your students different opportunities to answer questions.

I learned that students will have a specific learning style through which they prefer to learn.

I have learned that lesson plans keep you focused on how to prepare for each class session.

First impressions are made positive by taking part in activities that include greeting students by the door and smiling. 

I learned that I need to have instructional objectives that focus on audience, behavior, condition, and degree.

I've learned that one should always know your school, know your students, know your subject, know your colleagues, and know yourself.
