I've been in this position for 3 1/2 years now and still feel like an impostor. But I move forward every day and do my best to teach.

Keeping track of a disruptive student is key when it comes time to reprimand them. Proof is always needed. I recommend a sit down with the student. Where the issue is written up and they have to sign it after discussing what happened, how to better handle the situation, and possible outcomes if nothing changes.

Being mindful of how my mood and what I say to them can have a major effect on my students.

The Golden Rule really hit home. The expectations being posted right up front without question is something I can really agree with. I had an issue with that in College. I didn't know when anything was due by, so it stressed me out quite a bit.
