I appreciate the simple advice to just sit with someone, be calm, slow your breathing, and talk slowly and calmly. How simple and yet, like they said, it is contagious.

Excellent module. As an occupational therapist, what this speaks to is the importance of occupational balance. Taking time to do those things that are important and meaningful to us as occupational beings, including our spiritual and physical pursuits.

thanks for sharing

In this course I have learned the importance of recognizing each student's needs, their attention level and their dedication to the class. It is important to include them in on ways to make the class interesting as well as what to do in the event of boredom. I plan to observe each student individually to monitor their actions and body language.

I have learned that being clear and upfront of students expectations in the beginning can eliminate confusion as well as nervousness when starting a course. It is also a good idea to learn what the students expectations are of myself as an instructor. Very good course information presented here.
