Hello to all,The to do list is a must for us all. I have been using one in my personal and professional for years.Yes often it rolls over into the next day but it really helps to manage time and sterss.

teaching in a clinical situation can be difficult if the student's focus is wrong. Asking their permission to demonstrate to them again what they are needing to do and then sitting to watch them can bring them back to the proper focus and technique.

I've been instructing for 3 years now. I truly found my passion and what provides me with fulfillment. Due to the economy students between the ages of 40 - 55 are returning back to school, along with new graduates from high school. I admire these students for their courage and decision to return. I also view them as a positive example to the younger students. Displaying that you can return to school knowing that age is not a factor and having the attitude of not being to "OLD" to still receive an education is AWESOME! But sometimes I'm viewed as being a child who doesn't know anything and how am I going to teach them anything. I hold several academic credentials and 12 years of experience in a variety of courses including healthcare, administrative office and clinical procedures, medical insurance, and education. Often times I find it difficult to manage a class with students who are considered my elder. Age is used as a factor when I provide corrective critism, explain the classroom rules or give an assignment. I questioned my ability as an instructor. After completeing Managing the Adult Classroom, I've learned what management style I have. Also how to professionally present and demonstrate myself as a GUIDE. These methods will be used in both my professional and personal life.

The stress in your class is depending on the instructor. The instructor will also be carefull not to bring his/her personnal issues in the class room that can be stressful to the students.

As an instructor making the classroom stress free is important. I make sure the students don't talk too much about their personal problems in the class room and also to respect each other to avoid conflict which can cause stress to the other students.

As an instructor lecture preparation is a must. it helps the class knows the objectives for the day and what is expected of them at the end of the day. I find that it helps them to stay focused.

As an instructor i find that having the students do a to do list will get them better prepared for the workforce. They will beable to pace themselves and prioritize and accomplish a lot more throughout the day

I have noticed that with increased diversity in the classroom, there are more problems associated with language barriers to the students. I am not sure what would be the best way to handle this since it is hard to tell if it is the material they are struggling with or how I am explaining it. Any thoughts?

If you students are asking questions about something you have said, or are getting involved in the discussion by offering their opinions, and wanting to challenge someone else's opinion.

When I'm stressed I like to take atleast 30 minutes of the day to eliminate stres. Walking, excersice,and quiet time. That helps me refocus and get back on track.

Stress can be dangerous. Some people think it's productivity when in actuality it can damage you. It weakens the immune system and could also casue hypertension and burnout.

I like to set aside a certain time of the day for clerical task because it is time consuming.

I usually do a to do list every week. It works for my and it helps keep my class in order.

How important is it to build a Repor with students

When does a Bad Attitude merit the student excusable from class?

Is Excusing a Student from class necessary?

Classes are run well when there is more Class Participation? Thoughts?

experience is not always the answer ,set realistic standards for your students there should been a lesson learned from last class

The information stated that people enjoy hearing their own name and encouraged the instructors to call every students by their first name. I have always had trouble remembering names. During the first class of the term I even mention this to my students. I tell them that I even call my children by my cats names! Does anyone have any techniques that help you to remember someone's name?

I t is good idea to make a to do list. and go through it and figure it out and eliminate them in a series from high to low.
