As an instructor we act as role models. How we present ourselves (dresscode, language, timeliness) is how we can expect the students to act in class. Found the friend vs pal was helpful. Advice from fellow instructors is a tool we can use throughout our careers.
The biggest takeaway from this module so far has been that as faculty we need to model, manage, and motivate. I also appreciated the video where the professor encouraged his students to remember that as smart as one may be, there is always someone smarter. This is a good way to approach teaching and life in general and encourages one to stay open-minded to learning.
To display your interest in learning the subject gives your students the opportunity to model our behavior. Leading by actions is the most effective way to motivate your students. Being adaptable and compassionate is a key part of our students success.

Having an instructional plan to do this would include, having a timeline for your own personal development in topics on the timeline based on what teaching skills you need to develop in your progress as an instructor.

The information provided in this particular module was beneficial and reiterative of my own course curriculum as a learner in nursing education. The specific teaching points made me to realize how essential it is to amply apply the domains for learning (psychomotor, cognitive, and affective) when instructing. This provides learners an opportunity to not only be successful during curriculum development but to be capable of learning throughout their career development.
I have learned that studnets need to be respected and that I should be a friend to them but NOT a pal. Each student is a separate individual and must be treated as such. As an instructor, I must be on time, dress approproayely and act professionally at all times.
