How to be a great instructor by modeling, managing and motivating students. 

model, manage, motivate.....organize

I've learned to use past experiences in this particular field to enhance the students learning experience

Having good hygiene and coming to class in professional attire are two ways to show professionalism and that you are prepared. Arriving at least 15 minutes before students arrive and having everything prepared will signal to students that you are prepared and excited to teach. 

Your students can be a mirror reflection of how you present yourself. If you are professional and respectful they will mirror that. If you are prepared they will mirror that. If you are excited and engaged they will mirror that! 

That you are there to be a example and to display professionalism and support.

Help students see the progress they are making.

Be professonal with students and peers

You must be a model, a manager and a motivator.  Love your students and your material.   

Lead by example in my demeanor, dress, and communication.

I learned that as an Educator I must be a teacher, manager, and a cheerleader all in one. Also, there is a different between soft and hard skills and it is important to prepare students for both. 

Be a great leader, and be positive to show the students to be positive.

The importance of modeling, managing and motivating. Also, the importance of projection and professional as well as communication.

Lead by example. Also how to be a friend to the students but not a pal. 

I have learned so much from this module! I can definitely see how my time management issues in my one teaching position before undercut my credibility with my students, and I need to give myself more time moving forward to be better prepared so I can be on time. I also like the idea of developing a professional development plan that is big plan but also takes into account that I am a first-time classroom instructor with a lot to learn just in that arena, and it's ok to focus there and then expand outward once that is more settled. 

Be an excellent role model.

Hello , I've learned to have timeless accomplishments. Clearly creativity and interpersonal skills are vital.

Educate, Equip, Encourage (and model it)

to Educate the students, I need to be educated on the subject;

to Equip, I need to be equipped for the lesson (prepared, examples, Q&A, etc...),

and to Encourage, I need to be encouraging (even when I am exhausted, not "feeling it", or going through challenges)

One way to identifying a instructional style is to look at your past instructors.
