It is important to separate your personal and professional life. the minute you step through the work door, you leave all your problems there until your done with your day. Personal problems cant be brought into the classroom.

I hope that I never have to deal with an angry student but if I do, I am now confident that I could handle the situation without panicking.

I made sure to take notes of every strategy this module discussed. As a new teacher, this will help me understand those students a little more and use effective methods for them to get the most out of the class.

I enjoyed the examples of ice breaker activities. As a new teacher, it will be very important to et my class comfortable with one another and myself before teaching in my classroom in order to have a successful environment.

This module was extremely informational as it gave me the information on all different types of learning styles and methods. I will be sure to study my students and see what works so they can absorb as much information as possible.

Thank you for making a note of how important it is to set a clear field of expectations and what the class is to be about. That will really help to engage students and make a good first impression.

Making a checklist before your first day is a wonderful idea. How terrible it would be to feel unprepared and set a cold setting for your new students.

I really appreciated the advice about not acting like the smartest in the class. I think it is important to show the students that no one is better than anyone else. It puts everyone on the same level and makes for a more comfortable environment.
