I learned from this module that as an instructor there is more than just teaching the content of the courses. The instructor needs to be able to reach the students and ignite their passions to complete their studies. There is a lot more to planning and executing a good class and have it be educational for all students not just a handful of them.
I thoroughly enjoyed reviewing this module and learned that there are many valuable resources available for those that are just starting to teach. I was also reminded of the importance of maintaining professionalism and consistently modeling positive behavior for students, as educators play a critical role in setting expectations and creating a respectful learning environment.
I learned that to be a good instructor, you should conduct yourself in a professional manner. Be prepared before class start time as well as being on time yourself. Be in uniform as well maintain yourself in a manner that your students will deliver to there future customers/clients.

Professionalism and basic common courtesy can set the tone for a positive class experience
Professionalism must be demonstrated in and out of the classroom. Instructors should know content very well and also be motivators and managers in class.

Being a teacher extends far beyond delivering lessons. Teaching is a professional responsibility that requires consistent integrity, composure, and intentional conduct both inside and outside of the classroom.
Being an instructor is more than just teaching. You are a role model to many students. It brings me joy when my students tell me that they couldn't do it without me. Also when they thank you for being patient and understanding to meet their needs individually.
I agree with Michael, you don't know what you don't know until you begin as an instructor. I thought I understood but then I became very aware how much I did not know.

Having a lesson plan is important to help you outline the day and planning learning activities will help increase student engagement
I’ve learned that developing as an instructor means creating a supportive, clear, and engaging learning environment where students feel motivated to participate. I plan to apply this by becoming the kind of teacher students want to come to, approachable, consistent, and committed to their success.
Being an instructor is more than just about teaching. As a instuctor, you set the tone and provide the example of the expectation for you student as a professional. This means we must lead by example. As a professional in the field, our personal and formal experiences and knowledge add value in preparing our students for the real world. It also can help with transfer of learning to assist students with better understanding and retaining the course material that is being taught. When we incorporate these things within the learning enviroment, it helps us to build rapport with our students which in return increases engagement and student retention.
From this module, I have learned how important it is to model the behavior and attitudes I want to see in my students. As an instructor, my actions set the tone for the classroom, so it is essential to be professional, respectful, and consistent in everything I do. I also learned that creating a positive and supportive learning environment begins with clear expectations and strong communication. Moving forward, I intend to apply these lessons by being more intentional about how I interact with students, providing meaningful feedback, and demonstrating the professionalism I expect from them. By leading by example, I can help students feel more confident, engaged, and motivated to succeed.
