Be professional. Watch other instructors in the classroom and see what is successful to use.
Be the example of a professional in the field to the student
I agree with Cecy! I love the 5 C's model. It works and it is efficient.
The develop plan points concerning effective strategies were on point and great advice for all.
As a parent and instructor, I stress good hygiene and time management.
Definitively, lead by example.
Excitement is contagious.
Leading by example is so important and very much noticed by students!
Be as professional as possible, but also be compassionate and model the behavior you would want your students to model.
Lead by example in speech, respect, approach-ability, dress and subject knowledge.
As a teacher I need to lead my students to success, making sure I know the material and being confident in delivering it. Staying organized and ahead can set me up for successful teaching.
It has been my motto is engaging student...be a good role model and truly listen to what they are asking!!

Having a professional development plan to stay current in your knowledge base, and to identify/develop new skills that can help you in becoming a better instructor.
The success of an instructor is based on your development of three roles: model, manager and motivator.
Lead by example, listen, communicate, and be professional at all times.
The behaviors you model will be the ones your students emulate. Professionalism is key.
As a new instructor, it was helpful. I learned some useful information that I will apply. Keeping the students motivated and teaching with excitement for the subject.
I’ve learned that there is a lot to learn! I’ve been a professional student most of my life, by my family’s claims, so now it’s time to be a professional teacher!
Comment on Laura Hogins's post: I agree learning is the most important part of education.
Lead by example, you cannot hold your students accountable if they are just following bad habits shown by you. Always look for ways to improve and grow and never be afraid of asking for any insight from your fellow instructors.
