<p>I have learned that perhaps I need to look at classroom management and student success more through the eyes of the students' wants/ needs to discern their motivation for returning to a specialized career program. I need to delve deeper into the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that may motivate students to propel them towards success. The struggle for me being a Program Director who also teaches courses is creating separation between the dean's role and the instructor's role. I need strategies in place to break the perception of the disciplinarian when I am in the classroom. At times I feel students have difficulty making that separation, especially if unprofessional behaviors have been an issue before I get the student in the classroom.&#160;</p>
