The importance of being motivated to teach as an instructor.

Love learning about the refocus tool is very helpful in this module.

Create a positive learning environment for your students. Becoming comfortable around each other helps students of all ages learn in their environment.

Discussing students goals are important because you can use this to encourage them to continue studying.

Practice multiple teaching styles and demonstrations to keep your class interested. Using different teaching styles will help students who pertain to each style. 

It is important to learn and greet every student, and let them know about yourself so they feel comfortable in class 

It is important to make a checklist of what you are going to do for the class and to review the course objectives. 

Lead by a positive example, you are the model, manager and motivator for the students!

Feedback is essential when it comes to both parties. It is essential for instructors so we can improve our programs and quality of teaching, clinical sites etc. Evaluation is important for students because it can help guide them to do better the next term. 

Supervision and coordination are very important in a learning environment. As a instructor, supervision from an academic & mentor perspective are proven to be very successful in the development of both the student and instructor.
