Learning, not teaching, should be the goal. If your current teaching style isn't promoting learning in your classroom, then it's time to adjust your method. Know your subject well and be enthusiastic about it. If you lack passion for your subject, how can students be motivated to engage? Building "friendships" with your students is helpful, but avoid crossing the line into being their "pal." Friends support and encourage each other, especially during struggles. It's important to be a source of motivation and encouragement for your students. Lastly, professional development can remind you and encourage you to stay up-to-date with the latest strategies and methods to use with your students.
It's important to always have a plan for your professional development.
It is okay to make mistakes and professional development should always remain a priority.
The module introduced multiple approaches to teaching styles that I had not considered, which not only helped me build a stronger sense of how I should conduct myself, but also prompted me to evaluate what my strengths and weaknesses are, and how to improve my skills.
