Three Key Roles as a instructor.
MODEL, MANAGE, MOTIVATE. everyone has different instructional styles. You have to find what works best for you.
This module assisted me in the importance to refine my instructor role by learnng new information and techniques that will make me a better instructor.
Instruction should reflect both your personality, and your knowledge for the subject. Organization, and presenting yourself as confident, aware, and enthusiastic about the teaching experience will help engage your students. Lastly, afford professional courtesy to your students by being consistent with time management, attendance issues, university policies, etc.
1) Teaching skills must be both specific and dynamic. You must have a plan, but you must also be able to adapt to student needs and learning styles, as well as the the philosophy of the instutution for which you're working.
2) You're not just teaching a subject. You're modeling attitude, behavior, and presentation.
Don't have to show how competent or smart you are but how you convey informayion.
Not trying to prove you are the smartest one in the room.
I need to know myself and my abilities and cultivate them in a way that I can use them appropriately to my students utilising the latest instructional strategies
Lead by example while teaching
Lead by example, room for growth, 5 C's Credible, Candid, Compassionate, Committed and Clear!
Model , manage and motivate. Model professionalism and you don;'t have to be the smartest one in the classroom.

It is important to stay current and learn effective teaching strategies in order to keep students engaged.
Reminders relating to how to bring interest and excitement into the classroom, even for less exciting classes.
As aintstructer you have 3 roles :model, manage, and motivate. An instructer who is excited about what by teach keep the interst of the students. Dress and act appropriately for the field you teach.
Reassurance that our role as motivators is equally as important as our other roles in the classroom.
The instructor needs to act how they want their students to act, professional.
I am interested in new technologies that will help the students to get different perspectives in the field. Hands on learning is important but what is out there that backs this up?
Technical, professional, and personal. Developing confidence in the classroom using the 5Cs approach, great!
I learned that an instructor has three roles which include being a model(dress,conduct,neatness,etc.), manager (be prepared before class and assist everything coming together ) and motivator (showing studcents their progress). Soft skiils of customer relations as well as hard skills of procedures need to be conveyed to the students. Instructors need to be professional and have a continuous professional developmet plan.
