It is very important to create a positive environment for students. Buidling a good rapport will help to make students feel comfortable. 

What stands out to me is that it is important to remember that each person will have different reasons for continuing their education. It is also important to try to understand that each comes from varied backgrounds and life experience. 

There are many learning styles and everyone is unique in how they learn. Using varying teaching methods gives students an opportunity to learn in many ways. Being prepared before class and providing all materials is important. 

It is important to get to know the students. Give them background on yourself and then ask them to do the same. Learn their names as quickly as you can. Set the expectations of the class. 

Some of the take aways of this lesson is the 5cs, professionalism, continue to grow and learn. Be a role model for your students. Students will model what you do as the leader so lead by example.
