My biggest take-aways were:
1. Professionalism and being a model of the profession you are trying to teach is of utmost importance. Not only can you teach the subject, you have to BE a good example of the profession itself.
2. You need to keep re-educating YOURSELF on the latest in the field in order to be the best instructor. Some ways to do that is go to seminars for professional organizations and read journal articles from the field.
