I have learned different ways to deal with students’ issues. The student that arrives late, the student that is disrespectful, and the one that wants to defy me. I am planning to incorporate in my workplace the following measures:
a) Use the "I" language instead of "you" language. Using the 'you" language will creates a disruptive behavior and/ or a possible confrontation instead of focus on the attention in the class.
b) Focus on a student’s conduct instead of the student.
c) Use certain techniques like: ask a disruptive student to meet immediately after class or to “take 10”.

Lately, I have experienced that the number of students that need constant positive feedback from me as instructor has increased. I do believe in positive feedback can make a big difference for a student. Sometimes a poor performance of a student is not based on the fact that he is not capable of understanding the material.

When we are repeating information is there any technique that works better than other? I use repetition daily in class to let the students know how important is the material covered. However, I had encounter a particular problem. I have been told a couple times by students that please do not repeat anymore the information because "they are not dumb". Any suggestions?
