I like the idea of shifting gears when an instructor realizes something is not working. This can be done successfully without altering the content of the course, but shifting gears may help students feel a bit more of community and become more engaged.
I learned that successful instructors create a supportive, warm, and caring environment that fosters mutual respect, collaboration, and a sense of community. They set high expectations, are enthusiastic, and lead by example. They are also adaptable, willing to change their teaching approach based on student needs, and always focus on professional development.
I was unaware of ION; I look forward to pulling resources from ION to help my teaching, and facilitate student learning
Students may portary a mix of colors, and instructors need to be able to shift gears and adapt to these traits
The different styles of instructors' behaviors; two of the styles are the demonstrator/coach style and facilitator/activity style.
As Instructor, I need to be keen on character traits of the students, helping them to hone right values as they considered as a 2nd parent
I have learned the connection between the instructor's personality and the student's personality is a significant factor in the teaching and learning process. The best way to understand students' personalities is by knowing their dominant TC spectrum. I will use these takeaways in improving my teaching strategies to create a strong positive connection with my students.
I have learned that teachers or professors need to understand the likes of the students and be able to shift gear in their manner of teaching.
I have learned the importance of aligning personality traits and teaching styles to create an effective and supportive learning environment. Successful instructors are warm, accessible, and collaborative, setting high expectations while fostering mutual respect and a sense of community. Understanding students' learning traits, such as curiosity, resilience, and motivation, is key to helping them thrive. I intend to apply this knowledge by incorporating a blended teaching style that adapts to students’ needs, promotes active learning, and encourages open communication, ensuring a dynamic and inclusive classroom environment.
Recognizing the abilities of our students should help guide our instruction and being open-minded to adjustments directly relates to success.
I was interesting learning about how there is a connection between the ION and the TC colors personality traits.
I believe that incorporating several teaching modalities supports transfer of knowledge.
In delivering a hybrid curriculum, it benefits the students when combining lecture/ coach based teaching styles. It is important for the students to develop their critical thinking skills to be successful as a Sonographer.
Comment on SETH SORONNADI's post: One of the ways we set a sense of community is by having students comment on the works of others in their cohort. Over time they learn to trust their cohort and recognize the journey an online program can create a sense of family with individuals that may be 1000s of miles away.
Again, no one fits into one clear cut category, which means that teachers have to be willing to use different methodologies and evolve as the class's needs evolve.
Knowing and understanding learning styles of students enrich the classroom environment and the various ways students learn and understand the curriculum being taught.
I learned that personality traits can be correlated with aspects of a successful instructor and learner. This makes me want to better understand the specifics of how to create a more welcoming and trusting online learning environment.
Understanding students personality traits help instructors understand learning traits, which makes a better learning environment.
