Yes we do know more than our students, but being prepared proves it.
Being a new instructor this module hit home for me, I am very nervous about the "what if" things that can occur. This module gave me a little relief to know that I am not alone in these feeling and I will over come it.
I forget student's name so I decided to say thier names 4 times during class just to refresh my mind quickly. I also forget about giving them a break time. I apologize after we laugh & I will say" I am human & make mistakes so please remind me when it is break time to stop feeding your brain too much information".
I like to start a course by telling my students that I am there to assist in their training, and my desire is that what I contribute will help them in their careers. I also tell them that I hope to learn something from them. Without question, my teaching techniques have developed from insights that were learned from students, and I want them to know that their imput is as important as mine.
When you make a mistake look upon it as a learning experience and dont do the same mistake twice.
I used to worry about the what ifs when a new class would begin, but being prepared takes the jitters out and confidence is regained.
Learn from our mistake is easy keep making the same mistake is not hard to do!

Good preparation is the key to successful instructional delivery.
In this topic I learned alot about instructor image. Admitting to my mistakes, and keeping control of my classroom as a new instructor.
Remebering students names help instructors earn the respect from students. It has helped me in my education journey.
Being over prepared for class is a good thing but recall that some students are not fast learners so repection is very imprtant in a class management system. Put in extra activity if you do run out of time to help students critically think about the material you have covered.
