This series is about becoming a "great" instructor, one who makes a difference in someone's life. I have been teaching for almost 50 years and I'm proud of the work I've done, and the impact I've had on the lives of my students. I know what it takes to succeed”to be the best you can be. You have the awesome responsibility of educating the next generation, and I want to share the experience and wisdom I've gained so that you too, can learn how to make a difference, and change lives. I trust that you'll find new and fresh ways to reach and engage your audience, and reexamine your commitment to education.
This series of videos is extracted from Mike Holt's Becoming a Great Instructor video program. The principles are universal, in that they apply to any mentoring situation, and not just to students in the classroom.

So, now that you're prepared, seize the moment, take control..... and teach!
- The students will feel your presence, because they sense you're prepared.
- By projecting a sense of purpose and a connection to the students, you'll automatically take control.
- And all the rest there is to do, is to teach! It's not about showing off your knowledge, it's about making learning fun for them, and teaching them what they need to know, with productive methods, and a positive attitude.
