Don't have to show how competent or smart you are but how you convey informayion.
Not trying to prove you are the smartest one in the room.
I need to know myself and my abilities and cultivate them in a way that I can use them appropriately to my students utilising the latest instructional strategies
Lead by example while teaching
Lead by example, room for growth, 5 C's Credible, Candid, Compassionate, Committed and Clear!
Model , manage and motivate. Model professionalism and you don;'t have to be the smartest one in the classroom.
I learned to lead by example, and use resources for help if needed.
It is important to stay current and learn effective teaching strategies in order to keep students engaged.
Reminders relating to how to bring interest and excitement into the classroom, even for less exciting classes.
As aintstructer you have 3 roles :model, manage, and motivate. An instructer who is excited about what by teach keep the interst of the students. Dress and act appropriately for the field you teach.
Reassurance that our role as motivators is equally as important as our other roles in the classroom.
The instructor needs to act how they want their students to act, professional.
I am interested in new technologies that will help the students to get different perspectives in the field. Hands on learning is important but what is out there that backs this up?
Technical, professional, and personal. Developing confidence in the classroom using the 5Cs approach, great!
I learned that an instructor has three roles which include being a model(dress,conduct,neatness,etc.), manager (be prepared before class and assist everything coming together ) and motivator (showing studcents their progress). Soft skiils of customer relations as well as hard skills of procedures need to be conveyed to the students. Instructors need to be professional and have a continuous professional developmet plan.
Nice overview of the roles and responsibilities of an effective educator.
Be professional, focus on professional growth and development, and be a role model with a guiding hand to students.
Learning is the most important thing happening in the classroom, not teaching.
Also, if most of the learning happens outside the classroom, then how can I talk to my students about how they are using the information that we go over in class? I was thinking I could add a weekly application journal or discussion abou this topic.
Most learning occurs outside of the classroom. It is when the student has opportunities to apply the knowledge they gain, that is when real change and growth happen.
Fitting into the three instructor roles (as a Model, Manager and Motivator. Displaying aspects of the five C's (being Credible, Candid, Compassionate, Committed and Clear) and maintaining the image of the three competencies (Technical, Professional, and Personal) are all major take-withs from this lesson. Take them with you, use them, live by them.
