I model for my students my ability to go with the flow when teaching. What I have planned rarely goes the way it's written. I think its valuable for students to know that things can not go as planned, but we can still be successful in school.

I model for students by having patience, using kind words and expressing my love for all the students.

I have learned this year, in particular, that modeling is so crucial for anything (technology or otherwise). I have realized how many false assumptions I have about what my students already know. Everything we teach them, we need to assume this is the first time they are learning it. This is not just academically, but socially, and technologically as well. I model respect for my students because I expect it from them in return. I model organizational skills and study skills, even if I am sure they have been taught these things before.

I try to everyday to model for my students my passion for my subject and for learning. I constantly share with my students new things that I've learned or any connections that I've made with our class content and something I've experienced outside the classroom.

Although I am not teaching I still feel that I am able to model through my interactions with people. I model risk taking and realizing that if you have the passion to do something you can do anything you put your mind to. Even if you fail you had the courage to take the risk which is very important. I also model that learning never ends. We learn throughout our whole lives and have to learn that we are not perfect.

As we know teaching can be a stressful job at times, demostrating patience towards the students who maybe causing the stress is one way I model a positive attitude and perspective on life. Creating this type of environment for the students will eventually have them modeling what is being presented in the classroom. Students mock, imitate and mimic what they see, hear and what others do daily.

I am not yet a teacher; however, I feel I model through my social interactions, as well as those in my current job as a proposal writer. I work in a very small department, so not much goes unnoticed. I feel that by demonstrating my respect and courtesy toward others, I receive the same in return. I also model job-related behaviors as I am currently a mentor for a new employee. I feel she is learning more by my examples than the traditional training I am providing to her.

As has already been mentioned, teachers model all day, every day! As one of the speakers in the video stated, teachers naturally just model all day long, without even thinking about it. It is just the nature of the job, and for most, it is second nature. I model everything from how to walk through the halls and wait quietly when you need help, to how to complete a certain type of problem and how to think about it.

How do I model? I think I model my passion for learning something new. I model kindness and compassion. I model taking risks without fear of failure. As a teacher, like the teacher from the video stated beautifully, we model all day long. I model greeting a person, whether I know them or not. I model respect. I model being a good listener. I model being ok with not being perfect, that it is ok to not have all the answers, that it is ok to stumble sometimes. I model how to take on a problem and trying to solve it.
