The main objective on the first day of class is to establish a professional type of rapport to your new clients.Introducing yourself must include years of services in the field,pride of telling them successful students in the field who were sitted in the same classroom,a promise not to stress their heart and body but still being able to learn what is expected of them,and giving them ideas how to get and maintain good grades and excellent awards in every module. When students introduce themselves,I stand close to them, exercise my sense of humor like associating their names withcelebrities,comparing their current jobs to their future job with funny differencies. As soon as I sense they are feeling at home and relax then I start with the grading system and school policies.Thanks to the other ideas presented in this topic,it's worth trying.
