I think it’s important to find ways to make learning fun and different. As a new instructor, I look forward to shadowing other faculty to see and learn different teaching styles and how to engage with adult learners. 

i get to know students and provide modified learning methods that work for them specifically

Wow!  15 to 18 minutes...that is all?  The time you have, to make a difference, in the way someone might grasp the information that you are instructing them on.  This information speak volumes along the lines of supporting your students in their pursuit of learning.  Preparation; command of the subject matter at hand; and classroom management are three focus points that an instructor has to learn to use properly.

This to me overall teaches the importance of emotional intelligence and helping students retain what’s being taught

In the retention of the student is very important and use the tools suggested.

Understanding students' goals and help them to achieve. Recognize and celebrate their success .

I will always aim to create a conducive environment for learning understanding that each student has different learning needs

Share career experiences with the class

Be creative and make things fun to learn while creating a positive learning environment.

I like the idea of learn apply, learn apply.

Get to know your students. Engage them and show your enthusiasm for the topic. 

What I took away from this section is the importance of learning your students' needs and you are can really set the tone of the day with greeting them all as the enter class. 

My experience in this trade will help them learn the skill in this course.  

Creatively engage the students so that they develop a sense of purpose and belonging, which will aid in their success.

I love seeing the light bulbs come on in clinical as students see what they have learned in theory played out in real situations.

I love hearing about the importance of student participation and recognition. I also appreciate the thumbs up for humor. Next year will be 50 years I have been a nurse, 20 years I have taught nursing. There have been many humorous things along the way. Each student has a file of humorous or more serious memories that are important to share some of.

Create an environment in which the students are comfortable and treated with respect like human beings. The teacher should also learn the students names and try to present the information in a way that is fun so they are enthusiastic are the subject matter.

Create self-improvement goals for yourself that will help you develop enthusiasm for your profession once again. 

I picked up some really useful tips regarding how to keep students engaged in class

and improving the human side of teaching by showing students that you care and willing to provide support when needed

I learned fact that I thought to be interesting. It is stated that 60% of student success is based on the respect they have for themselves. 

I learned that it is extremely important to keep the students engaged and to look forward to the next class. It is alright to have fun in class and have group activities, but make sure that the students do not become too competitive with each other. This could cause some students to feel inadequate and left out.

I love opening class with a fun activity. These "ice breakers" really help you to learn who your students are as people and not just as learners. :-)
