Leading by example goes beyond modeling course content and assignments. Modeling soft skills is just as important.
During this module, I learned that mock interviews are very important. I also learned that students need all the practice they can get but may naturally be nervous the day of the interview no matter what.
I hope to teach in a way that is engaging to my students. I intend to be a great Model, Manager and motivator and plan to use the 5 C's as an instructor.
You have to be professional at all times, you can be friendly to students but in a professional way. U also have to lead by example.
Im going to write up a formal professional development plan! This course is a good start.
All great take aways.
Model, manage and motivate
Not the smartest in the room.
The 5 C's.
Preparedness and enthusiam for the topics we will be covering. Arriving 15 minutes early to "rev" the students up. Energetic tone to captivate students.
Liked the reiteration of the things we all "know" but need reminding of so that we can consciously make the effort to apply these techniques and knowledge areas.
Lead by example. However, please do not make your students think you are more intelligent than them.
To maintain professionalism with your students because it can also be a trap.
Always dress professionally. If the outfit is questionable, dress professional.
This session further supported the notion that continuous improvement is a life long journey. Having a professional development plan is key as there is always areas for improvement. In addition, the 5 Cs are a great way to summarize how to maintain a positive role.
Develope a plan to improve instruction.
Know yourself first and work backwards...
This is a great review for all instructors. I love the encouragement to continue to work our our professional plans and improve as instructors through all opportunities that are available: professional organizations, technologies, colleagues,....
I learned the importance of bieng a good model for the students. Also the importance of professional development.
Biggest take away is to realize the huge impact you have on student behavior as an instructor. Being a good role model in the classroom can eliminate a lot of negative situations if you simply act adn behave as you would expect your students to do so.
I have leanred while it is mperative to be able to track and recognize students' accomplishmanets and personal growth, it is just as important to do it for myself as an instuctor. Having a personal growth plan is a great way to do that.
Leading by example in all aspects of teaching/in the field.
I have learned I could benefit from a professional development plan vs waiting for opportunities to become evident.
