Class preparation is going to be one of the keys to being a successful instructor. Try to tap into my teaching style and work on my weaknesses white utilizing my strengths.
I learned that you should be prepared for class before class. Having everything you need for the class ready for the students is very important.
Being prepared and on time sets the tone for the class
Identity in teaching style
Observation of other instructors helps you recognize what "works" for students (Perspective)
I personally was able to obtain some small changes (color handouts) easier reference and identify if we are all on the "same page"
Love this idea
Planning and Preperation can be observed by student as Respect.
After reading these lessons, I find that I need to make some adjustments to become a more effective class manager.
I learned that I need to focus not only on my personality but how other's perceive my personality in my teachings.
I think getting to know your students lets them start trusting you.
Course is very helpful in controlling a classroom.
I agree with taking a pause during and after lecture, it will give you inside and will allow you to adjust if you need to. Make class fun!! Student will enjoy the material and it will be a win win situation for you and the student.
How you set up for the week will determine if your students would engage with the different activites and asisgnments that are done for the day and thru week
That are different types of instructors. You teaching style may need to adapt depending on the class. Changing envieronment.
Be prepared.
I like the idea of colored handouts, handing out observation sheets to students on field trips and providing more detail information to guest speakers on what you would like your students to get out of the presentation.
Being an instructor is not for everyone. Doing a self-assessment with a personality test can give you a better idea of your personality to determine if this job is for you. If you are not excited about the job, it might be a better idea to find a better position that does not affect the development of other members.

Bring ready, prepared, and not giving a first bad impression.
Organization, presentation and confidence are key to succeed.
Being prepared a day before makes things run smooth and no tension is building up with in yourself on the day of class. The students are aware when an instructor is not ready and trying to prepare to lecture or doing a project.
Under standing my personality type and teaching style.
It really helped me learnwhat style of instructor i wil be.
Understanding what teaching style I have and the importance of being prepared for class and being organized. I always relate to my real life experiences when I am lecturing. Students enjoy my stories and relates to our lecture.
Understanding ones personality and how it reflects on your teaching skills is paramount. Use positive behavior habitually yet be reflective of change when needed. Taking daily classroom notes can help with not only individual subjects but can also individualize your approach with students. Being prepared, on time and consistent sets the stage for a good classroom enviroment not only building confidence and respect but also maintains productivity and harmony in the classroom. Don't take oneself to seriously, humor can be an excellent segway. Know your peers and administration on the campus. Causual callboration with co-workers can cause self improvement, better styles and understanding. Look at things from the students perspective.
