As an instructor, you are a role model to your students. It is your responsibility to make sure that you keep your classroom professional.

As a college instructor, you have to make sure that classroom is balance with different learning activities to keep all students interested in your class.

The instructor must make sure that his or her students clearly understand the road map for the class.

I would like to also state in my opinion, effective classroom management also entails understanding and feeding your students learning style. This aids in your classroom management as well. Providing instruction in a manner that is effective for your students allows the opportunity for good management as the students will be more open and willing to listen and follow your lead.

It is easy to take actions of our fellow human beings personally. We assign praise or blame accordingly. If we truely figure out what is important to us it is easier to plan our lives and not take the behaviours of human beings around us personally.

I have an amazing group of 25 students. I recognize and appreciate them all even the students who have a lot more behavior and personality to manage. I like to think that I have a good connection to my students due to my age and the manner in which I can relate to a lotof them.

I have a pair of students who have worked there way from audience to R or x rated commedians. I realize that my management skills or lack there of have allowed for this transition.

Partner a weak student with a stronger student in a team or group approach.

I remember in my college classes several instructors that were just tremendous in getting us to understand the material in the course while other instructors, although experienced in the subject matter, had trouble getting the information into our brains! Now that I'm the instructor, I try to learn from my students. If the entire class in having difficulty with a concept, I know I have to try a different approach. I'm continually polishing my skills and making the appropriate changes. If an individual student is having difficulty, I will work with them one-on-one and change my methods to suit that particular student.
