Most of the time when a student acts out I find its becuase they are frustrated or embarrased . I have had all types of disabled students to deal with but I have seen some of the same problems over and over . You have to reasure them and stay calm.

Some times I find my concern's are I can't tell if Im getting throught to them by the look's on their face's .Its hard to tell if they are engage or not.

I like to break up the lecture with Demos to reinforce what I just talked about. I also with combine domos and lecture . and have at least one student help with the Demo.

In our school we only have each group for 15 days. That makes it hard to get involved with anything but delivering the material in class. a lot of times I really don't get to know much about the student until the end of the session. This can make harder to have a positive impact on retention

I find a relief in getting something done I didnt really want to do , most of the time the task was easier than I thought to get it done.

I find it hard sometimes to brag myself up , I am a very modest person , sometimes I feel I didnt give them enought information about myself.

I try to relate to my students how what we are teaching them will effect them later on in there work as a tech. and often ask before I teach a segment if anyone has ever had any experience with it before.

I always treat people (students ) the way I expect to be treated with respect . even with proplem students I never talk down to them. Dan Butler

I have students at times that dont really seem to fit the mold of the proffession they are training for . they seem very out of place with no dirrection . its very difficuilt to motivate them

I always start with where have the students come from. which classes have they taken so for and how was that experience. Then I tell them what we will be covering in our class.
