The biggest take away for me was: the Five C's ( credible, compassionate, committed, candid, and clear), and the three competencies (technical, professional, and personal). And using the experience of my fellow instructors to help me implement these points.
I have learned it will take time and patience to become a quality instructor
I have learned, you are a walking advertisement for your profession. Despite not being intentional about the display. You’re always on display.
Trying to prove how smart you are will boomerang. And It’s beneficial to practice humility but be confident in yourself.
I have reviewed some very good take away about presenting myself as a professional role model for my students and I will implement this in the clinical settings.
To be a Great instructor, You must present a professional appearance and have confidence
Whenever you are starting a new class make sure that you have the knowledge that you will need for the class material. There are times when you may not have the information that a student wants, take the time to find it, don't just say we'll find it later and then never do.
BEING INTENTIONAL AS A LEADER
Don't be a pal but be a friend.
Paying attention to my own professionalism lays foundation for my students to be professional themselves. Leaving constructive criticism and feedback that helps the students improve is key to being a professional.
This was indeed a great informative session. 5Cs were definitely one of the key points that I am planning to adapt. Second take away point was the professionalism.
My big takeaway was teaching with excitement and competence. If I engage my students in this manner, I will retain their attention and make them equally excited to "what's up next?"
Model, manage, and motivate.
Always present yourself in a profesional manner and be a positive role model not only to your students but also to the people you work with.
Don't be afraid to be wrong, it's important to continue to grow and learn more yourself in order to better your students.
I have learned how to professionally model myself as an instructor and how to implement teaching strategies into my classroom and myself as a model.
Lead by example and always remember to be a role model in the profession.
When you lead by example it can create a great way for us to set a standard as instructors. Do not acted like the smartest person in the room. Excitement for your subject.
I really enjoyed the videos embedded in this course. Model, Manage, and Motivate and using my personality in my teaching are some key items I am taking with me from this course.
Creating a personal development plan is essential to becoming a good instructor. Including positive energy and and an enthusiastic attitude helps with keeping the students motivated as well.
There were so many things I have learned from this course, being a leader in the classroom, showing others respect and being prepared every day seems to resonate most for me.
