role model
I am Medical Assistant program instructor and i am trying my best to be arule model of my student. I am so happy that some of my students told me that i am there role model. For me to be empathy is important. If we have a student with bad attitude we should know the resen for that, because with bad attitude student there must be some factors for that. So being empathy is important.
Hi William,
Sounds like a great approach to getting the students settled into the course and ready to learn. You are right about the respect aspect of being successful with students.

I teach psychology to adults at night. I have also created mutal respect among many of my students, while having to deal with those who are less interested in the course. I always tell my class respect works two ways. Even though many of us have problems and unforseen circumstances, still does not relieve students from being repsectful. I am always avaialable to speak with students to discuss individual issues. This seems to build a rapport with many more students.
