My biggest problem with the class that I have right now is too much enthusiasm. Believe me I love it but I still need to manage time better. The class is large and this group wants to understand more about the topic than I have time for. Relevant questions abound and I really have a hard time cutting these off. I truly enjoy the discussions but need to cover certain material. Any suggestions?

It was very interesting to review the information in this module. I found that although PowerPoints make up about 50% of our curriculum the rest of the delivery is a combination of more traditional methods of instruction. I enjoy each of these methods because I can see how different students respond to each individually with their aha moments. There is no better student exclamation to an instructor's ears than "I get it!".

Becoming an instructional leader does not happen spontaneously when you walk into the classroom on that first day. Instead it takes years of getting to know yourself and your style. Thinking back to my first class makes me shudder - they ate me alive! Even after many years of instructing or facilitating students it is important to consistently review and look for areas of improvement. That is how we will stay fresh and energized!
