you can colorfully decorate any classroom to encourage a positive atmosphere, bright/ light colors even brighter lighting in general can help raise overall moral 

no matter how experienced an instructor is, there is always something that can be learned from a course they are teaching. Either from the students or different ways in managing the course

its important to remember managing stressors is not something that happens over night. overcoming one stressor at a time helps reduce stress overall. personal and professional

stress in personal life can effect in your professional life as well as vice versa. learning how to balance can be easier said than done, learning to identify stressors helps in managing/preventing them

using an online discussion can help organize questions maybe more than one person has and can all be addressed at the same time, while also letting students interact and engage more

a to do list can be very helpful in organizing the order of how you want to prioritize your time management. keeps things more on track and less flustered and all over the place

while building a rapport with students may help the class go smoother its very important to remind them and yourself, you are NOT friends. Instructor. student.

watching student behavior can help identify a problem before it starts. every students outside situation is different if you have a upset student remember to listen and get all facts and think of ways to deescalate the situation

identifying students that may be a disruption early on is key to helping the instructor understand some students may need extra guidance to get back on track of their goals and why they wanted to come to school

I've learned starting the class with a clear & organized syllabus  can help explain course expectations and assignment due dates. leaves less room to say a due date was not known
