Alfred, It is so important as an instructor to be that role model that students want to respect. This helps build community and get the students involved with the course and each other. Communication is key to the building of this rapport. Thanks for you input.
Lee, The criteria/points are essential for effective assessment. A students shouldn't be able to pass the assignment when he/she scores in the "fails to meet" column in every aspect. Thanks for your input.

MeriAnn, True - as students feel more comfortable/secure in an environment, they tend to open up/share more. Building that comfort zone/relationship takes time.

Erica, "Potential" is an important word in how you describe this. The rubric should help both the instructor and students. Keep in mind what learning outcomes are being assessed. Thanks!
Discussion Comment
MeriAnn, Open discussions to allow students to bring their previous knowledge, personality, thoughts, beliefs, etc. to the table. This is where we really see differences in people. Thanks!
Discussion Comment
MeriAnn, We do all teach and learn in different ways. Maybe it's because of how were were taught, maybe it's our personality, maybe it's because we are trying to reach all students. Thanks!
Discussion Comment
Erica, Yes, the key work you mentioned was "awareness." We need to be aware of our surroundings - our students. Thanks!

MaryCatherine, We are all different and not every person can be classified as this or that, but a general idea is always a good thing. I know when I have an idea of how someone may react before I approach them, it helps me know how to provide information to that individual. Thanks for your input.
