Language and learning are interdependent

Everyone has a voice and wants to be heard

Diversity and race are always significant to embrace. It allows individuals to keep an open mind

Active learning has a positive impact on how students learn and retain information. 

As an instructor, I plan to create learning activities that stimulate active learning and participation during lecture and class discussions.

Understand mistakes will happen. Do not dwell on the mistake but learn and look for ways to improve in the future. 

With exams, I learned it is best to sit in one place instead of walking around. I thought walking around would be a better choice, but I see know how it can be a distraction. 

I like the idea of walking around the class during lecture to keep student's attention on me and what I am saying while I observe their behavior to make sure it is appropriate for class. Calling on students who are less vocal/verbal to answer questions keeps them engaged and on their toes. I also like the idea of calling names out of a hat or from the attendance roll for students to stay prepared to answer questions. 

Set clear expectations and standards for students. Lead by example. Keep content interesting and engaging. Allow students to work together on class assignments.

Make teaching exciting, creative, and passionate. Think of how you would want information taught and implement those strategies into the lesson.
