The five C's are an integral part of teaching
The instructor should be very knowledgeable in the subject area and be an example to his/ her students. He must always strive for improvement so the students will get the most up-to-date information at all times
I really enjoyed learning about the 5 C's. I would have to say this was the biggest takeaway for me.
As a leader in the classroom, the "5-C's" were my biggest take away from this module. It is important to follow each (Credible, Candid, Compassionate, Committed and Clear) in order to set the best example for our students.
Teachers are the models of professionalism. We need to lead by example. There is always room for growth and development in both your course and yourself. Learning is the most important part of education.
As a leader, lead your student on the right direction, be a good listener, and communicator.
Know what you love. Love what you know. Share it. Get training for all additional things you want to learn so that your students will learn, too.
It is important to have an individual development plan and know your resources.
Lead by example and do not act like you are the smartest.
Lead by example and collaborate with veteran instructors
Model, manage and motivate!
Two important take aways:
1) The 5 "C's"- be Credible, Candid, Compassionate, Committed and Clear!
2) The 3 compitencies - Tehcnical, Professional and Personal!
Lead by example, Be prepared and maintain a professional environment.
A soft skill is effective human resources management.
You can be a friend to your students, but not a pal. Be supportive and motivative. But dont fall into the baby sitter trap. Remember that you are a professional, but that you may not always be the smartest or know best. Seek advice from your peers.
Use your past experiences to provide the best resources and teaching methods for you students.
Always stay current and up to date. Be a leader who leads by example
Use your fellow seasoned instructors if you need resource. it is important to stay up to date with research & technology
Lead by example in the classroom
If I got nothing else out of this module, I got the following:
Do not presume that you are the smartest in the class because you are the instructor, because there is a student who may be smarter.
Keeps you humble and student focused in my opinion.
