Robert, great point and really hits home with the importance of presence and an true understanding of your environment. We all have days that are better than others and it can be a challenge to bring a high level of energy into each and every classroom setting. Yet this is what is really critical to keep your students focused and for you as the instructor to model the way for your students. As leaders of our classrooms, we need to put our personal lives on hold and provide 100% focus and attention on our students when in their presence. They deserve our best every time we are with them.
