I am impressed with the idea of mini lectures. I'm with my students for 6 hours a day Mon. through Fri. Mini lectures would prove most useful in this situation. This is a new concept to me and I will have to carefully plan them out on a schedule but I believe it will improve my classroom learning environment. One of the biggest problems I run into is keeping the students attention, especially since they are in class for 6 hours a day.

planning is something I have very little time to do. I am going to put forth considerable effort to plan ahead and provide my students with more information about my courses and what I expect from them. I think I would run into less problems if I can provide clearer expectations.

The way my students perceive me may very well be a reflection of their behavior in my class. I am planning on learning everything i can to set an example for my students to follow in hopes of maintain a stronger professional environment. I must maintain a professional distance and not enable my students slack off from their learning.
