This all seems simple, but you really have to work daily at each. In healthcare, as an example, it can be pretty scary to try to motivate students when the subject of the day is fecal incontinence management. Subjects like that require the instructor to dig deep in order to motivate! Modeling behavior becomes paramount in this situation, because the behavior that we project will in turn be what guides the student to want to excel with the subject.
Management! I cannot tell you how many times I had an awesome class because I got there before the first student and was able to catch y breath, get set up for the class, and put forth my best effort. I think to be very honest though, those classes where I ran late, was unprepared, or mentally checked-out were wasted hours and the students had their special ways of letting me know this.
I think as I start in this new area of education, I am going to write down those 3 words and use them to define how I plan to shape my day, not only for the benefit of my students, but also for my own satisfaction as an instructor.
Students are always watching your behavior and make sure to act the way you would want your students to act, be early, consitant and professional.
To be excited about the material one is teaching about!
Being an instructor, your need to be a motivator to your students and be professional as well as tranformational.
I have learned the three roles of an instructor and their importance in the class room. I also learned to led by example, and not to be students pal, but their friend.
Model, manage and motivate - but never stop learnng and growing yourself.

Hello all,
What I learned from this module was, that even as an instructor you never stop learning. Communication in the classroom is key to a successful classroom learning experience. I've aslo learned the different functions need in proper teaching. Being able to fully commit to the students and grasping thier attention for what you are teaching, to me is what matters the most. By implementing what I have learned in this course I believe that I am ready to take on that role.
As the classroom leader, you must model the behavior youwant you students to learn. Model Mangae Motivate. Additionally, you must continue to learn yourself; through a thoughtful professional development plan.
As an instructor, you too should always be learning. Learning new ways to teach, to enguage with the students. Be professional at all times but keep it interesting. Adapt to the students in the classroom when needed.
The instructor roles are very important to show students from day one .
The importance of Instructor roles we need to show our students to get the foundation in place day one.

To be an good you must plan, continue to educate yourself, use ALL resources available, model expectations for your students, and encourage and motivate them to help keep them engaged. I loed the 5 C's and want to work on makng that a class mantra.
That unpredictabiliy is a key component of teaching.
There will always be someone else who is smarter or knows more. Never miss the opportunity to learn and grow.
