biggest take away I see is, developing your own style with it. Take stock of current strengths and weaknesses and capitalize on them to further develop your own efficacy
Lead by example and stay professional
Be that one teacher that a student will never forget, I am in my 30's and I still remember my 4th grade teacher.
Teachers are always more than an Teacher we are mentors, leaders, and consolers.
To become a model, manager and motivator. As someone who has never taught before, taking notes from this course has been really helpful. I hope to take notes on myself throughout my time teaching so I am able to become the best version of myself for my students.
Remember where you came from. Everyone has a life story and they are all equally important. As an Instructor you are placed in a position to spread that knowledge. You are not special, you just get to do extraordinary things.
I've Learned as An instructor you have to be a role model, mentor and a professional educator
its ok to be a friend not a baby sitter, show students encouragement ,supportiveness, and fairness
Lead by example, but most important you can learn as much from your students as they learn from you.
I learned that it's really important to know who you are and know your strengths and where you want/need to improve/develop professionally.
Continuously further your craft of education so you can be a better instructor and share knowledge that you have.
As an educator you must continue to be mindful of your role as a model, manager, motivator and building trust only enhances the learning environment. Success/effectiveness is achieved by also being a student
I learned the value of professionalism and how important it is in an instructor's role as a model, manager, and motivator.
I learned how important it is to be a model that students want to follow. It is equally important to love what you teach and allow students to see your passionate interest in your subject. Keep students engaged and interested as well.
Encourage, Support, and fairness are what you must provide, not enablement. Be the model that the students need for this profession not the mother/parent.
Be the Example for your students, that they have a strong foundation to become great!!!
Comment on Justin Markle's post: This is 100% on point!!
The 3 Ms (Model, Manager, & Motivator) are quick references to recall additional information before, during, and after instruction.
Body language and gestures are very important for understanding of knowledge and how prepared you are has a direct correlation to your ability to deliver that knowledge to the classroom.
I think my biggest take away from this module is how important it is to remain active in my career field. Whether it is a continuing education course, staying up to date with news laws and legislation that affect my career, maintaining professional contacts with employers, or industry representatives, all of these will help keep me connected to my field and provide me with the knowledge to best prepare the students with the profession they will be entering.
My takeaway from this lesson is that professionalism is the utmost important characteristic an instructor should possess. All other instructional characteristics flow from professionalism.
I took away: Respect, Responsible, Results.
Respect your students, peers, career setting. You are Responsible for preparing for the students and instruction. The Results will be the effort you put in.
