Long time needed when I have big class. I try to learn from experienced instructors.

IT is very good course because sometimes I have immediacy obstacle and I want t finish all day work within short time, this is not good for efficiency.

How many changes would you give a student who is disruptive before removing them from class.

people tend to overestimate the amount of stress they can handle. It is important to understand what you can and can't handle.

If there is an employee that always messes something up and has been coached numerous times...why do they still work there?

Do you use online activities for not just streamlining your efficiency for tasks but to offer a different delivery method of material?

A lot can be said with doing tasks immediatly. If you have the time to do something immediatly, given your ability to reprioritize actively, wouldn't benefit those involved to complete the task?

All your sstudents will not always like you but if the classroom is manged well and in order,the students will respect you

A good way to stop cheating in the classroom is by separating the students in the class.

This student is very captivating and usually very knowleable. It is in the teachers best interest to be able to use this personality type to be able to bring the classroom closer together. Should this student be your right hand person they will feel that being the observer is equally an important role to be recognized in class therefore this situation will work GREAT!!!

Students should be responsible for a time line in being expected to turn the assignment by the time required. The real world has no excuses for TARDIES!

Good management of a classroon contributes to a well interested group of students., which feel their learning enviorment is a good fit to be able to gain the knowledge of the subject without unneeded distractions. Using the "I" word helps to diffuse any type of resentment the student may have when addressed. It is important as an educator to show your respect for the student.

I teach students for readiness in the building industry. Our problems are complex and require big picture and divergent thinking. Many of my fellow instructors give simple and finite problems with simple solutions and are quite rigid with their submittal and grading policy. I have taken the approach that student learning requires space and freedom to explore the ideas and to make big mistakes in our laboratory environment. Often I let project deadlines slide because I realize that a student may be on to some serious learning that I don't want to inhibit. Question: How do I accomodate student learning with my approach with set and defined deadlines and project requirements as discussed in this lesson?

Under the “Managing Student Behavior” module, the angry student section says that “hostile and angry students will almost exclusively be male.” I would really like to see this wording changed. I don’t have qualms because I’m offended as a male. But I work at a school with about 95 percent females, and they make up 100 percent of the “angry” students. I think the current wording can be a disservice to beginning instructors. Having read this, they could be caught off guard when that first “angry” student turns out to be a female. Any chance you can make the change to the wording?

After the course I understand even if organized, having anything out that is unnecessary can lead to a loss of perception as to being prepared and organized. Learning to control perception of image I can see is not only important but mandatory even in subtle ways to manage, teach and be effective. Nice, like it.

This was awesome categorizing the different student / learning types. I have 2 students in the same class, for lack of a better word they "appear" burdened. They aren't silent, not angry and participate well, they are capable and motivated but become loners during breaks and both look like they're carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders. After this section I have new ideas how to observe and tactics to apply. Talking to them, they say job is fine, family is fine, and have clear career objectives. Does anyone have any input to increase my effectiveness with these students?

I have learned from experience that when stress isn’t contributing to my greater emotional and physical health, it’s time to find healthier ones. There are many healthy ways to manage and cope with stress, but they all require change. You can either change the situation or change your reaction. When deciding which option to choose, I find it helpful to think of the four A’s: avoid, alter, adapt, or accept. Mainly, I try to focus on what makes me feel calm and in control.

When I become overwhelmed and stressed my eating and sleeping habits tend to take a backseat. I find that when I am overwhelmed with tasks on my plate, eating a healthy meal and taking a short exercise break will re-energize my mind and calm my nerves down to focus on the task at hand.

Grading definitely takes up most of my time. I think it's critical to make sure that each student is thoroughly comprehending the course material so I spend time (sometimes too much) analyzing assignments and providing feedback. I have found that there are some great programs out there that help with cutting time when grading. One program is Grade Assist. It allows you to create suggestion boxes to add to the corrections based on the given assignment. Rather than having to type out the same correction multiple times, the comment is saved to just click and add immediately.

Sometimes I feel as though I may not manage my time effectively because I take on too many tasks to please or help others. I then find myself putting my important tasks aside to give time to something that should be dealt with at later time. I have a fairly large and very close family, and sometimes I feel as though I go out of my way to assist with their tasks, which then causes stress for me later when I need to complete my own tasks. My important tasks on my list then become urgent and I feel rushed and stressed to do them. I need to prioritize my time better and make sure to complete all of my own important tasks before assisting others.
