Professionalism, preparedness, and knowing how to carry yourself around your students will help you master your teaching ability. 

Being ready to go 15 minutes before students arrive models the professional skills we are asking of our students. It is important to show interest in your teaching rather than focusing on showing how smart you are, as this will help engage your students.

Effective teaching strategies are key to becoming a better instructor and enhancing student learning outcomes. As an educator, focusing on a variety of approaches can help you engage diverse learners, improve retention, and foster critical thinking. Active learning involves engaging students directly in the learning process, rather than having them passively receive information. Because every student learning is different ways a differentiated instruction must tailor teaching to accommodate diverse learning styles, abilities, and interests.

Learning this module helps me a great deal on how to better my craft and improve my skills as an instructor. Prior experience in the field of nursing does help but continuously searching for ways to improve and master it is a process that we need to continuously seek., Module do help me become better at it and overcome challenges that might come our way. 

I learned how better preparation will result in a more well run class. It is very important to know your subject matter and be about to present it in a manor that is well received by the students. Also, as an instructor, we must always demonstrate academic responsibility. The students will model after how we present ourselves.

I have learned to be on top of the subject matter, make sure to be organized and on time, stay professional and be courteous and understanding of your students. Always continue learning in different ways.

Need to look and project professionalism so students know what to expect in the real world. Need to continue to develop as an instructor,

Need to be professional at all times. Be prepared.

  • Be a role model for students.
  • Knowledgeable in your subject matter.
  • Be a motivator.
  • Interact with students on both a group or individual level.
  • Encourage students.

Confidence is key 

I have learned that I could be more confident. I should not doubt myself and speak with confidence.

Presenting myself as a model instructor requires maintaining a professional demeanor at all times. There are attitudes and manners of speaking, common in the industry, that have no place in an instructional setting. While I should project the model of an industry professional, I must be sure to maintain the professionalism expected of an instructor.

Student development starts with a well trained educator, better trained instructors equals better students 

Our best methods of portraying professionalism and developing as and inspector, is to be as familir as possible with the ever evolving technology in our field. Being prepared for new advancements and regulations, and being prepared before each lecture with theory as well as a working knowledge of the practical applications. 

It is so important to portray professionalism at all times when instructing a classroom. Your appearance, behavior, and demeanor are on full display each day as an educator. You must lead by example always and encourage your students to follow suit.

Be professional, kind and knowledgeable, do not be arrogant just be confident and always remember not everyone learns the same. 

The three major roles played by instructors are:

  • Model
  • Manager
  • Motivator

Implementing will require me to focus on creating a dynamic learning environment, providing personalized support and fostering critical thinking and active engagement. 

I enjoyed this portion. I am a firm believer in modeling professional behavior for students to admire and hopefully follow. I have insight on how to break down what professionalism looks like and what it contains. I observe students knowing this word but struggling to define and model it. I will be using better tools to explain this part of becoming a career minded person. 

Each and every group of students differs from class to class/ As instructors we must be flexible and fluid to provide the best educational experience for each unique group.

It was a good reminder that confidence can be interpreted as arrogance if presented the wrong way.
