Importance of setting an example
It is important to set the example for students. It's best to be on time and not involve yourself in irrelevant conversation to the topic.
I agree with you 100%. Setting higher standards for our students will take them very far in life.
yes, that is 100% true. Instructors are role models, and it is important to teach by our actions, so "do what I do" is better that " do what I say" .
I definitely believe we lead by example. It carries much more weight than what we say.
I believe that as an instructor it is important for me to set a good example to my students. Of course life happens sometimes and so I try to use those times as a learning lesson.
What is the old saying? Monkey see monkey do. We must set a higher standard for our students to follow by being proffessional in all that we do. All people learn by example. Be it good or bad.
In particular, I set an example of competence and professionalism to the IT program students here. While they are learning, they need to see the real-world application.
