Be a professional at all times by establishing relationship and mutual respect to learners and by being a role model.

Instructor is a role model for students. Instructor will inspire students all aspects of their learning

develope a persoanl improvement plan with realistic goals and timelines

 

I learn that I must remain a professional at all times. To always lead by examples and to always remember to "Always be yourself".

 

ED 101 has forced me to reflect on the importance of developing and maintaining a professional development plan. Professional development plans are important because instructors need to be proficient in a wide variety of areas such as learning theory, curriculum development and human resource management. Without such a plan it is very difficult for professors to learn new information and techniques to continually improve and best serve their students. 

 

Dress professionally and act confident

 

I really enjoyed this model. professionalism is something we all know, but it is easy to become comfortable. Humans adapt to their surroundings. We must be certain that we do not become "chameleons". We are role models for our students. We must remember the five C's: credible, candid, compassionate, committed, and clear.  We should dress the part, be on time, be confident, and be a leader. 

Do not act like you are without a doubt the smartest person in the room.

Know your content have confidence don't try to show that you are smart just convince the students you love the subjecy and you love them

 

Make sure you stay current and up to date in your specific field , as with medical  things change all the time .

 

As a new instructor I am learning a lot. Staying professional while still being human. Lead by example. Don't assume you are the smartest in the class. Use professional development classes and colleagues. It's ok to make mistakes just move on and don't dwell. 

As leader you should be organized, know your material you are going to cover. Be confident and set a example.

Loved the 5c's.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Instructor Roles: Model. Manage. Motivate.

The Five C's were a huge takeaway. Being credible, candid, compassionate, committed and clear/concise is a great summary of instructor expectancy. 

Instructor Competency: Technical. Professional. Personal. 

A key ingredient to student success is in the instructor's ability to establish rapport. In the short clip from the Harvard discussion, he mentioned to not try and convince the students that you're the smartest in the room, and to instead, convince them that you love the subject and that you love them! I thought that was so profound. Establishing an enviornment of mutual respect and personal support are vital factors to success as well. It's clearly the relationship that must be in the forefront of the classroom. An instructor who hosted a TEDTalk conference quoted a philosopher who said, students don't learn from instructors they don't like. 

 

Learning the two parts of instructional style include: your personality and how you project yourself to students and the style you use to work with small groups, in demonstration settings, and for lectures. 

Developing a personal career growth plan is important.  I have felt the need to do this, but, did not consider a formal approach it the development.  I will work on this.  I plan to explore the options available from my institution to assist me in the development of my plan.

 

Use more technology to present the material, to motivate more the students, no just old system

 

Lead by example and be a role model for your students. Represent what you expect from them.

 

I am teaching nursig students so it is important to be excited and knowledgable about the subject I am teaching. I have learned that professionalism is important by way of leading by example. 

With my instructional style development, I can use my past experience with other instrustors to shape my own style of teaching. 

the alliteration in these modules:

 

model, manage, motivate

 

credible, candid, compassionate, committed, clear 

 

Also to not assume you are the smartest person in the room. there probably is a student in the class who is smarter but you must show your passion about your subject to your students.
