how important it is to have reinforcement and be motivated as an instructor

Motivation increases as students see more applications for what they kearned.  Connecting this to the real world careers helps them see what they will soon be doing in their career. It also boosts their confidence and they can begin seeing themselves outside the classroom setting. 

This is a fine balance between instructor and students. First of all, we must be realistic, which means having emphathy, things will happen and we must help our students. At the same time we must make it clear what is to be expected of them with a clear outline in the syllabus, this way they can manage the semester. Be engaging with them to also not make the class feel like a chore and to build motivation. 

It is important to find ways to motivate students. Students also benefit from instructors that understand the challenges they face in attaining an education.

I learned more about the importance of keeping the lesson real for the student.  Learn each student and what motivates them.

This module was all about motivating students for continued engagement in the classroom environment.  I learned strategies on how to become a better teacher, one that is not only focused on curriculum, but also truly developing a relationship with their students.  I believe this is integral in developing trust with my students, to actually get to know them and learn about the experiences they have acquired to create curriculum that coincides with those topics. 

 

Students learn through their instrudtors enthusiasm and experience. We need to ptovide feedback (positive or negative) to motivate students.

 

Knowing and respecting my role as an instructor, alongside knowing my students, is extremely important to the success of my students as learners, as well as myself as the instructor.  The instructor sets the tone for the entire learning experience and journey and must to done with clarity, enthusiasm, and care.

In this module, I learned that the most effective trait of being a motivating instructor is to focus on student's success and excitement about the field. A good teacher knows content, each student, respectful of students and their bounderies of learning, and aware of teaching style in able to transcend the message. 

 

I motivate the students through giving positive reinforcements, feedbacks and ensuring that they are all understanding the information. Develop a good trust to the students.

Empowering and motivating students is key to their successful outcomes. Giving positive reinforcement is key. An open learning class room is important, as well as consistent feedback.

In order for students to reach their full learning potential, it is important that teachers support and motivate them.  If students feel that the teacher is not concerned with their well being in the class, they are less likely to put forth effort.

 

Student motivations aren't simple or unilateral.  The best way to keep a student motivated is to understand that student.  You must know why the student is in the course, what they want to get out of it, and what their concerns are so that you can keep them focused.

Learning from 'Harvard School",  4 elements of a great teacher.  I do not quite understand the 4th element.

i learned that motivation is extremely important in helping students learn. Life experiences and immediate feedback promotes the joy of learning. Giving students life examples of course content helps them stay engaged. It is important for students to know material and be able to use it in practice.
