Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
In this module, I've learned the responsibilities of keeping a professional image which includes starting class on time. Also, the importance of taking professional development courses to help me to improve classroom management and student's academic achievement.
As the leader of the program, I forget how difficult some aspects of teaching are for beginners. When coaching and mentoring new faculty, I need to ensure the basics discussed here are solid first. Without that foundation, their success will be limited.
I have learned how to improve control of the classroom as well as what students respond well to.
I've learned that to be an effective role model for my students I must practice professionalism at all times while remaining sensitive, open and available to better serve their individual development needs.
I have learned to become a role model to my students by setting as an example. Motivate them in the manner that they will be encouraged to study well and make good in class.
Be a role model for our students. Engage our students each day of lecture or clinical instruction. Incorporate previous knowledge into plans so our students would / could be a better understanding of the information. Show professionalism inside and outside the clinical atmosphere.
Teaching is more than just an understanding of the subject matter. Setting the example of what a professional should look like in the workplace and being able to motivate students from every walk of life is every bit as important.
Everyone has their own teaching style and flow of the program and may or may not take a bit of time for one to be acclimated, generally, we all have to respect each other, respect the coworkers, colleagues, students etc. This all starts with the educators, we have to be a role model and be a source of knowledge and assistance.
I learned a great bit about keeping our vocabulary as instructors very professional. It is always my intention to be professional in the way I speak to students, but I can see how being a new instructor makes it easy to want to be well-liked and keep conversation more casual. I will stick to what I learned.
There are different teaching styles and while you need to find the one the suits you best you also need to be able to make style changes to connect better with students.
It is important to not try to be the smartest person in the room and use student first teaching.
I have learned more about instructional style and development and other aspects to help students learn better.
In this module I learned the importance of finding your specific teaching style in which you will be the most effective and efficient in the delivering of the content matter you are teaching.

As an instructor it is vital to lead by example in all ways. Showing my enthusiasm for the topic will also help with student attention and buy in
It is of upmost importance to be a role model and present yourself as a professional whom the students and everyone you interact with perceive you by the way you carry yourself. In essence, being punctual, prepared, dressing professionally, respectfulness, being available, having an open mind, and listening to peoples' perspectives. I plan to learn and grow as an instructor by being welcoming feedback, both negative and positive, from students and fellow associates and use that information to improve personally and professionally.
