I ENJOY A FIRST DAY ICE BREAKING SESSION OF INDIVIDUAL INTRODUCTIONS.WE GO AROUND THE ROOM STATEING AGE,WHERE WE WRE FROM,MARTIAL STATUS,KIDS,HOBBIS,SHORT TERM GOALS,LONG TERM GOALS ECT. MAKES FOR A GREAT ICE BREAKER AND ALOT OF LAUGHTER.

TO ERROR IS HUMAN,THAT IS WHAT CONTRIBUTES TO SELF DOUBT.SO IF AT FIRST WE DONT SUCCEED,THEN TRY TRY AGAIN.A LIFE SPENT MAKING MISTAKES IS MORE HONORABLE THAN ONE SPENT DOING NOTHING.

Hello to all,I try to simply refuse to be stressed out. No one can make you mad unless you let them.Dont let someone else control your stress level.Refer to your to do list.I dont think you put getting mad or stressed out on there.Go for a walk,get some fresh air.It helps.

Dont just be on time be early for class/work.At least 30 min. Havent you noticed that if you are late in the morning you are late all day?

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.

KEEP THEM BUSY! THAT IS THE KEY,EVEN THOUGH THEY MAY HAVE A LEARNING DISABILITY DOES NOT MEAN THEY DONT WANT TO LEARN.SO KEEP THEM BUSY AT ALL TIMES SO THEY DONT GET BORED AND POSSIBLY BECOME DISRUPTIVE.

WHEN INSTRUCTING WITH DIVERSE LEARNERS ONE MUST STICK TO THE BASICS.START WITH TEXT BOOK,LITERAL "READING ALOUD" INSTRUCTION THEN LECTURE FROM THE TEXT,ASKING"DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ABOUT WHAT WE JUST READ?" OPENS UP THE FLOOR FOR MORE ORAL INSTRUCTION.WE WILL NOW SHOW VIDEOS ON THE SAME SUBJECT MATTER.THEN WE WILL PUT IT INTO ACTION,HANDS ON PRACTIAL.... NOW WE HAVE READ IT,HEARD IT, SEEN IT,AND DONE IT. IF ONE HAS NOT GOT IT BY NOW, THEY ARE NOT EVER GOING TO GET "IT".

TO ME COMMUNICATION REALLY IS THE KEY.NOT JUST IN THE CLASS ROOM AS INSTRUSTORS,BUT IN ALL OUR RELATIONSHIPS.JUST LOOK HOW MANY SELF HELP BOOKS THERE ARE ON THIS SUBJECT AT A BOOK STORE.THAT TELLS ME IT CANNOT BE PERFECTED.THERE IS ALWAYS ROOM FOR INPROVMENT IN MY COMMUNICATION SKILLS.YES EYE CONTACT IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT. I MAKE A POINT TO DO IT HOPING OTHERS WILL ALSO.
