These are the strategies I have learned from this module. 1. Create a positive learning environment where the students can trust that you have their best interests in mind. 2. Address all problems without hesitation. Problems are easier to control if they are small. 3. Monitor all situations efectively. Instructors should always be prepared to handle any situation quickly. 4. Let your students know you are available to assist them and that you are aware of the work they are doing. 5. Maintain a strong connection with every student.

As a first year instructor, I am still trying to maximize my effort preparing the lesson plans. I give myself about an hour for every three hours of instruction. I know this may be much, but until I get a better feel of the material I will continue putting in the extra time. I am certainly not very good at winging it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
