The Instructor as a "Value Creator" Your primary role is to make the classroom experience irreplaceable. When you are prepared and organized, you demonstrate respect for your students' time. If the lesson consists of unique hands-on practice, real-time feedback, and collaborative problem-solving, the student perceives a hour"snot just as time on a log, but as a tangible gain in competency.

watching and observing other instructors, becoming a good classroom manager. Stepping aside and listening to students response and discussions.
I learned that effective class management is about intentionally guiding diverse students so individual contributions blend into a shared learning goal. Regularly pausing to observe the classroom will help me assess student dynamics, the physical environment, and my instructional approach in real time.
I learned how being excited and organized helps the student as well during class.

I have been an instructor over 27 years. I can completely relate to this training module and validate its' importance.
From the many styles of teacher to the class prep and respect aspect. Great information.
I feel it is so important as a leader and instructor it's important to be prepared because not only are you feeding the minds of our future but you are the example of how they should be. It also sets the tone of the level of respect they should bring to the classroom and the work they put in.

Taking time to prepare is crucial to one being an instructor. Visuals can also help students.
This module reminded me how important it is to stay flexible as an instructor. Student groups can change quickly, and being aware of who is in our classrooms helps us adjust how we teach and support them. I really like the idea of taking a short pause during class to simply observe how students are working, interacting, and engaging can tell us a lot. I also plan to keep my classroom and lab spaces more organized so students can easily find what they need and stay focused on learning.
Having all class materials organized for students can increase engagement and decrease distractions
I really am passionate about teaching but it takes a village. To be well prepared is having funds allocated correctly and fairly so that every instructional staff member has to opportunity to bring their best instructional style forward.
I felt that it was great information, It reassured me that I have been doing the right things for the last three years. It also reminded me that on occasion I might be a bit of the " Drill instructor" Being a police officer for 33 years. I have changed my instruction style to accommodate a broader spectrum of students.
