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.

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.
Leading by example is key. Always be professional with my time, appearance, and the way that I treat people.
Common sense is a major tool used in your development as an instructor. You need to lead by example acting as model, manager and motivator. Use resources provided by your institution or experience to continue your growth as a teacher.

Being genuine, inspiring, and professional are the three characteristics I summarized and reemphasized in my learning during this section of the course. Secondly, understanding that one can be friendly without becoming a "bestie friend" with the students is paramount to keep the professional lines clear and to not lose objectivity in my teaching is also key.
What i got from this module is that you will always have an impact of students so plan for that. lead by example. Gain their attention. Make them interested and excited about what will be going on in the class room that day. In the end even if they dont act like it, they will be greatful for what you have taught them
Being an instructor is more than just disiminating information. To be a successful instructor I have to remember to show compassion, I need to be commited to my students, and I need to remember that I am modeling professional behavior to my students. I need to be excited about the content and opportunity to share my knowledge and experiences. I need to be willing to better myself for the good of the students.
As an instructor I need to have technical competence, professional competence, and personal competence so that I can effectively model, manage and motivate students. To be an effective instructor that creates and maintains a positive role I need to be credible, candid, compassionate, committed, and clear. I plan to apply what I learned to help develop my instructional style...which I have no idea what my particular instructional style is.
By watching the videos and listening to the procedures of becoming a better educator/instructor, I have learned new ways of doing a better job in the classroom .

It is important to know the content you are teaching, but it is just as important to present the content in a format that the students can understand.
