From this module, I learned that even well-intentioned instructors can make mistakes that negatively impact student engagement and learning. Some common issues include unclear expectations, inconsistent feedback, not checking for understanding, and failing to adapt instruction to different learning styles.
I plan to apply this learning by being more intentional about clear communication, active student engagement, and consistent follow-up. In my Electrical Technology class, I will make sure instructions are not only verbal but also written and visually displayed. I will also check for understanding more frequently through quick demonstrations, formative assessments, and student reflections.
Additionally, I’ll focus on maintaining a positive classroom culture, correcting mistakes in a constructive way and encouraging students to take ownership of their learning. By avoiding these common instructor errors, I can create a more supportive, structured, and productive environment for my students
