I deliver my expectations of my students and the expectations of the class on day 1 of the class. For those who are absent on day 1, I redeliver those expectations at the beginning of day 2. I let the studnets know exactly what is expected of them, my objectives of the overall class as well as my daily objectives.

Some students need that extra support to get them through the course and I am that one to encourage them.

Being A Positive Role Model

I as an instructor try to carry myself as a positive role model for my students. I like to make sure that whatever I am asking my students to do that I am either doing it as well or making sure I stay positive and engage myself in the activity with them. For example, If I ask my students to make sure that their professional appearance is good daily (i.e. no acrylic nails, ironed scrubs..etc.) that I have the same appearance. I speak positive words around them and make sure that I remain positive with them
