I liked the idea of showing excitement for your class, keeping eye contact with students and acknowledging your students while they are speaking shows respect and that you care. I also learned to to pay attention to body language. I will use these techniques in motivating my students.

Love your class and it will grow, I am a true believer of this statement. If you are teaching a class that you really enjoy the excitement will show, the time will fly by, the students are more likely make spread the word that "you have to take this class" other students will feel more at ease with talking to you even if you haven't had them in your class yet. So like planting a tree, you must take care when planting it to ensure a solid foundation, check up on it daily, and give plenty of attention.

What should a teacher be expected to do?  k-12  are they responsable for the the childs home work getting done? making sure they are fed, cleaned, proper supplies, dressed? well being of the child? Please comment on the expectation that are set in your schools. Do the pay anymore money for the extra work performed?

I  have found many items listed in this first class to be helpful in my everyday teching. I did not know the attention of a student to only be around 15-18 minutes. and to keep learing sessions to shorter lengths of time.

i will take that with me, and also practice your hands on demonstrations before class is a must. that way if you run in to issues before the actual demonstration you will be better prepared and you will look more professional.
