Instructing

• define professional

- professionalism - polite, attentive, responsive to questions. authoritative, confident, competent. - clear communicator - explains things well - engaging and entertaining - knowledge of course material - punctual - quality course material - good planning

• managing expectations

- uncertainty generates anxiety. when anxious, people require reassurance that they are performing

correctly and that things are going to plan. - when expectations are always managed, and people are aware of what to expect, they are satisfied when it

is delivered and can focus on the subject at hand without worrying about whether it is correct. - when evaluating a product people compare expectations with experience. If expectations and experience

are aligned it's easy to determine that the result was satisfactory.

• structured teaching

- listen/look for signs of lack of understanding - be wary of 'silence is acceptance' - Giving a brief overview of the objective of a section, and how it will be accomplished, then explaining,,

coaching through exercise and Q&A. - get attention before giving direction - When giving directions, a teacher needs to make sure expectations and consequences are clear and

organized for the student. - Do not distract the students yourself! - Apologise, re-acquire control, restate objective, move on - plenty of praise, all answers are good answers. never "no" - always "yes and" or "yes but", at worst,

"maybe". Rejection is not education!
