Opportunity to be a Clinic Instructor

If I were a clinic instructor at this moment I think I would want the students to feel as if I was a knowledgeable, respectful, compassionate, and a considerate teacher. I know a lot of knowledgeable teachers from dental hygiene, we all do, school is rough and rigorous. Yet, for a teacher to be knowledgeable and carry the other qualities is not always seen. I would want students to feel as if they could always ask me any questions without feeling as if I would judge them or make them feel less of a person. I would also want to be that teacher that a student wouldn't be afraid to have them grade a scale competency. Not that I would be an easy grader, just that I would explain to them areas that are harder, show them ways to use the instrument in that area more efficiently and give them more help until they truly understand it. My goal would to be to go above and beyond teachers that I thought were magnificent in school. To always strive to be better every day. While reading chapter 11 in the handbook I realized to be a good instructor you have to be constantly asking  questions to yourself. "Did I see learning patterns?", "Did I always give feedback?", "Was I fair?", "Did the students learn anything?" I think asking your self these questions will help you to always be progressing as an instructor. If you do nothing to change you will never be effective as a teacher.  Although it is true not all the students will like you, respect you or even listen to you; if you strive to be your best and keep your eyes and and ears open for questions and improvements I believe anyone could be an amazing clinic instructor.
