Everything needs to be explicitly clear in multiple places-- i.e. syllabus, online announcements ,reminders--for students. 

I will look more into AI and how to leverage it in classes and lesson planning, as referenced in this section! Interesting 

I learned how transformational teaching can encourage students to look at situations differently and challenge their thinking.

professional demeanor is necessary to also help students create an environment of learning where respectful behavior is expected and encouraged. 

Managing students I believe starts with knowing their motivation, and intrinsic values. I agree that silence is the hardest to discern.  I especially like about being a experts is of no value if you can not engage students to follow along and understand the principles we are trying to convey. So, I have a lot to learn about delivery and engagement but specially about ensuring students are learning. 

This module helped me realize that classroom management doesn't always have to involve disciplinary action. Sometimes simply stopping instruction or making eye contact is enough to correct a behavior. I want to continue treating my students as adults and giving them the opportunity to correct their own behavior while maintaining a classroom where everyone can learn without distractions.

This module helped me better understand the different teaching styles and how they affect student learning. I see myself mostly as a guide with some controller tendencies. I want to continue providing structure and clear expectations while giving students more opportunities to think through situations on their own and develop their critical thinking skills.

I have a wide range of ages and life experiences in my classrooms. I learned that using a combination of teaching styles can be beneficial.

Understanding each student's personality actually aides in managing student behavior.  The understanding promotes patience and builds trust with the students.  When students feel trusted, they will naturally behave better.

Frequent brain breaks, even for HS students are essential to stay focused and on task.
