Managing the Class & Students

Public

Ask a question from your peers to help you in your professional work. Seek different points of view on a topic that interests you. Start a thought-provoking conversation about a hot, current topic. Encourage your peers to join you in the discussion, and feel free to facilitate the discussion. As a community of educators, all members of the Career Ed Lounge are empowered to act as a discussion facilitator to help us all learn from each other.

setting the stage

Making sure the students have the tool they need can be a good stage setter.

Office space

Office space; I do not agree with having dividing lines in a shared office. I believe in team work. Even though everyone has their own job, when a task need to be completed sometimes we have to invade others to be successful. Helping others with tasks bring team work together and help build camaraderie

Taking control of your time.

Time management is the key to make sure things are done correctly and in a timely manner. In my opinion the first thing that needs to be done is to prioritize the list. Find the hardest task and work toward the easiest task. Once the larger tasks are completed everything thing else should fall in place.

commom instructors mistakes

I have a habit of being more friendly, than should be. I feel as though I am breaking down a barrier between myself and the students. I some way my method works because the students feel comfortable with me and trust me. Whenever it is time to get serious about the subject matter, the students also take me serious.

common instructor mistakes

I have told students that they should not expect an A which was very wrong. I will not do that agian.

instructors mistakes

They are not prepared and get worried about it, it is always wise to be prepared about what to do for that class. Another is respected of a student, the best thing is to make sure that the student knows who is boss and that it is ok to be relaxed and not teminated, its ok to joke but when its time to do buisness they need to do the proper instructions that are give, do not get into the "quick sand" and become their friend.

class room management

I think some students need to be told how they are doing so they can see where they are at in the class

bryan garza

class room managment

I really agree with the idea of going over the syllabus with the students. Students offten ask when the home work is due and never turn it in on time. When we have told them time and time again. We do take a acction when they do not turn it in on time. Students need to understand who is boss and there will be a "cut off point".

Remembering Names

There is some advice on drawing out quiet or shy students in some of the discussions. My problem is it is difficult for me to remember all of my students' names, so I am less likely able to call on the shy ones who don't stand out. I see the Harvard videos the adult students have name cards in front of them, has anyone else used this successfully? Any other suggestions on how you remember the names of the quiet students?
