ive learned about time management, being competent and remaining professional. all comes down to 3 important rolls MODEL, MANAGER, MOTIVATOR
I strongly agree that an instructor that is enthusiastic about teaching and interested in the course subject matter will be more effective in connecting with students and succeeding as an instructor. I plan on enrolling in online training courses and utilizing information databases to stay up to date on new industry trends and technology.
The big take away is that the most important part of a successful class is the preparation beforehand. Being professional includes being prepared.
I learned that to be a great instructor you have to show up early prepared and follow all the professhional protocols. Making sure that all the teaching is student centered and treat them with respect. What I need to add is more professhional development course or training.
I learned in order to be successful as an instructor you have to be prepared before class begins. You as an instructor need to be professional, so you are leading by example.
I learned that in order to be a great instructor I must fulfill all 3 roles well- model, manager, and motivator. I think it was important to learn that every teacher needs to develop their own approach to teaching whatever curriculum they are responsible for.
I learned that teaching strategies not only focus on theory/subject itself. We need to consider that being a Model (attire, language, conduct etc.), Manager (Judge or Jury), Motivator plays a magnificent role to make our students competent in learning.
I learned about how a professional development plan can help me become more proficient in my career as an instructor. Now I need to decide which resources to pursue.
So far, this section has made me feel very inadequate as an instructor. Its showing me, that I have a long way to go to as an instructor. Apparently, I haven't been doing half of what an instructor should be doing. I didn't realize that just being in this position, I'm setting an example for my students. I was unaware of the model I need to become, so that I can properly manage and motivate my students to be the best in their field.
It seems the best way to be an effective instructor is to act and be professional. A lot of professional behaviors are intuitive to me - dressing appropriately, being on time and prepared to teach, and respectfully addressing students without trying to become a "friend."
I will incorporate more of my enthusiasm for my subject area when teaching students, to really emphasize that I find biology fascinating!
In this module I’ve learned that an instructor played three roles. They are a model, manager and motivator. As a model they are an example of excellence and professionalism. A manager displays authority, is a disciplinarian when necessary, a cheerleader and acts as judge/jury as needed. A motivator is actively looking for ways to keep students engaged in class and committed to their goals and future career success.
I learned the importance of being professional as an instructor and how to best serve my students
I learn about how to be a professional instructor, I also learned about 3 roles to present myself as Model, Manager and Motivator .
i need to show the student that i am caring about them
Having a positive and upbeat attitude and knowing the material you are instructing on will bring the students together for a fun learning experience. Welcome every student, show professionalism in the way you dress, groom yourself, and your words towards staff and students.
What I learned that being confident in your teaching and maintaining a professional demeanor to show what leadership truly is.
Comment on Jason Mattos's post:
Time management, competent, professional = model, manager, motivator
I have learned that the instructor must be proficient in many areas in order to be an effective educator with students in the classroom.
I learned that in order to keep your students positive attention that it is important to be a positive reflection of yourself, but never go to far as to being a babysitter stay in the area of being an instructor never to become a pal but be a friend always find new ways to keep your students attn and to always dress the part of your profession
I have learned how to continue my education as an educator. I am currently finishing my Doctor of Nursing Practice. I believe that once we finish our degrees, it is up to us to continue learning from our students and peers. I will search out new learning opportunities, such as certifications, in the future.
It made me think more about the various aspects that influence the perception of you as an instructor and how to model professionalism to both students and staff!
