The point of instruction is to be a model, manager and motivator. You need to know the content but you will never truly know it all. You act in humility, work with your students, create that rapport to be able to have that active learning in class, and develop a teaching style that works for both you and your students. Professionalism is everything in teaching and instruction, you are a role model to the class, so acting accordingly is necessary.
Lead by example and always remember to be supportive and motivate your students. Serve as a role model by always being professional in your behavior and response to the students.
You cannot expect students to abide to standard that I cannot hold myself to.
Teaching isn't just about how I approach the competence of my profession.
Presentation and attitude are always being taken in by the students.
"they do not care about what I know until they realize that I care!"
Demonstrating encouragement and professionally sharing information will keep students engaged.
Lead by exapmle, show your love for what you are teaching to impact the way your students view what they are learning. dont think you know it all cause someone in your own classroom can be smarter than you
If anything, humble yourself and find better ways to be informative to students as well as entertaining. Even though we are teachers, we still have things to learn to become better. In short, always keep learning yourself, make strides to cater to different students styles of learning, and be positive
Everyone has a different style to relate the needed thought and physical abilities to succeed in any chosen field. Teaching the two elements of style requires the ability to aquire feedback from your students. Leaning on where they might stumble is as important as what goes smoothly. Be focused on your methods and what works within your given classroom and combination of students.
Do not try to be the smartest, or most competent individual in the room. Be the leader, point of contact, point of understanding, and point of guidance. Love what you do, and love helping others to understand. Model, manage, motivate is a big take away for me in this reading
I learned as a younger instructor to completely avoid becoming "pals" with students and always be leading by example.
The componets of modeling. Dress, Language, conduct, and time.
Know your audience and your yourself. Don't try to be the smartest person in the room. OK to be a friend, but not a pal to students.
An instructor must look the part as professional, though relating to the students on a personal level is equally important.
This is a great module reminding me on how to be an instructional and personal model for students, how to manage the class, and motivate students.
Lead by example. Continue to seek opportunities to improve. Motivate by being prepared.
Motivate students by providing opportunities for them to apply their learning and see how far they have come.
Lead them through the topics have myself be a rolemodle of professionalism and lead them with the 5 cs
Instructors should model behaviors that will enable students to succeed in their technical fields
