I have always treated every student as an individual and have respected their cultures and language. Every student is a precious human being. I worked in the field 40+ years and I have always not allowed my biases to interfere with my patient care and so it is as an Instructor. Every student has a right to be successful and it is my job to get them there. My record proves that this is so. 

I learned how important it is for all staff to be involved in communication with the Student. As an instructor I make myself availble to my students almost 24/7. Some students have no home support and need that extra TLC support system. I would like to see more of the staff involved in calling students that sre struggling, so that as a group we are a strong support system for students.   

I think the tools offered here ill be extremely helpful to evaluate student performance. 

To be consistant with grading or assessments the Rubric is the best. Student self assessment is the best way for the student to truly understand how they are doing in the class. It aslo helps the instructor how to approach methods of helping the student improve.

i learned how important the Syllabus is to both the instructor and the student. It is important to stress to the student how important this syllabus is for them to get an overview of the class and that it helps them stay on track.

I have learned that being present on line teaching is important to the student. To help them feel your presence, to be a real person on line. It is not easy but with a little creativity it is possible. Students love stories of real life experiences in the field. And they want to know we can understand also the difficulties of attending classes in the midst of personal dificulties and how we endured when we attended classes. We have to be real to the student.

Yes module consistency is important to the students. I also teach that consistency at the work site when doing patient

care is extrmely beneficial to a smooth running office.

My Name is Ceilia Munoz. I have been a Medical Assistant Instructor for 11 yrs. I have worked in the Medical field for over 40 year. After working in a surgical office for 29 yrs I decided to give back to the community what i learned all those years in the field. I have a passion to teach and I love my students. It is my passion to put out excellent MA's with integrity and with their own passion for their profession.   

I learned that job readiness early on is of major importance. To help the student early on to have a vision and a goal as to where they want to work, the student must review their weaknesses and strengths .  I do talk about my job experiences of over 40 years, I do talk about the very exciting professions and the good days and the bad days. Many graduates often send messages after they have jobs and state how those real life stories helped them in the field.

I learned that it important to help the student feel important and that the instructor really wants them to succeed. I will be more mindful of thsse things and bring to the class perhaps a video of gradutation days from the school to give them a view of the excitement during graduation.
