Being prepared and organized are important in running a class.
Always admit when I'm wrong and make it a teachable time. Students need to be able to see that even as a professional we can make mistakes but how we handle it is what makes the difference.
This module reminded me that even the best teachers make mistakes. What matters most is how we handle them. I learned that using humor, staying organized, and keeping a professional image helps build trust and respect with students. It also reinforced how important it is to stay prepared, avoid negativity, and focus on creating a positive learning environment.
Doing the right thing poorly is a pathway to doing the right thing well.
Humor helps level with students and creates a space for understanding.
In the beginning of class, I let my students know my education and experience that qualifies me to instruct, I also let them know that I am human and make mistakes and I do not mind being corrected. I love when my students can correct me because it lets me know they are taking in the information.
I really enjoyed the video on the square diagram because I have done many things right awkwardly, and I work towards doing what's right well.
Humor is a useful tactic in the event that you make a mistake. It let's the students know you are human and that you do not see yourself as infallible.
I will make mistakes , take notes and learn moving forward
I will make sure I am properly dressed so the students will have respect for me and see me as their teacher and not their friend.
Take notes and learn from your mistakes.
Being able to admit that you do not know everything and can make mistakes is a great way to build trust with your students. Learn from the mistake and allow it to make you better next time!
Humans make mistakes and we are ALL human and we ALL make mistakes. It is how you handle your mistakes that will make you a better person and a better instructor. Own your mistakes, laugh at yourself, resolve the mistake, and move on. Make notes of the mistake and the resolution so that you can refer back and not make the same mistakes over and over again. This is also valuable for the students to learn as well so that they learn to handle their own mistakes.
We are human and will make mistakes but make sure to acknowledge your mistake and improve as you move forward. Also don't let the students see your weaknesses.
A checklist and lecture notes reduce fears. Take a moment to jot notes down after class to help in the future
Don't be afraid to ask questions.
Learn from your mistakes. When an activity, lecture does not work for you make a note of it and next time when you are preparing you do not make the same mistakes
Even adult students need support and guidance.
