I think that it is important to have a syllabus availiable for your students the first day of class. Also the instructor should go over the syllabus with the students to make sure they understand the course requirements and content, and to answer any questions that the students may have.

Professionalism

I am a true believer that first impressions are lasting one. As an instructor we should present ourselves in a professional respectful manner. Our students are looking at how we present and carry ourselves so we must stay on top of our game.

Students with learning disabilities

Students with learning disabilities sometime require more time and patience than our average learner. As an instructor we must understand their situation and offer resources and help that they may need.

Working with students with special needs

As an instructor I think that it is important to be able to understand differences in students and to be able to accommodate them. We should know what our students special needs are so that we can help or either offer them the resources that can help them.

students working in groups

I personally like for my students to work in groups. It gives them a chance to express themselves while utilizing the opinions or help from their peers. Also it allows them to learn how to work with others, teamwork!

locating yourself in the classroom

I'm a fairly new instructor and I have found out that when I do move from behind the desk, which is my comfort zone I do feel as though I'm relating with my students better and my word flow is better. So I do believe that instructors should move around not pace but at least move twice during a lecture.

The Road to Stress Free Living

I think that it is important to have a stress free life because stress can be detrimental to our health. We must have some kind of plan in place to help us cope with daily stress. Stress can be a factor in every area of our lives so therefore we must take control of stress before it take control of us.
