I enjoy moving around the room. However, I find that classroom equipment is becoming more difficult to dodge. I also have learned about new computer write boards. Any suggestions?

I try to get grades back to students as quickly as possible. I sometimes even email their grades to them as long as it is allowed by the school.

I think in life the faster we learn to fall the faster we get up. Unfortunately instructors are pressured not to make mistakes. If you make a mistake it results in warnings and termination. I feel that is a lot of pressure. It does depend on the mistake however.

Hello, Kim The short video discussed how these 2 controls are used to manage people. I asked the question to stimulate a deeper understanding of the use of these controls. To me leaders bend, break, and make rules/controls. Followers follow. Normative controls (Example: shame the person in to doing something) are better but harder to establish. Instrumental (Example: if you do this, you will get that) are easier to set up. This is my current understanding of the video presented.

Thanks Patriciai, My concern is an individual with (A.D.D. or etc.) learning disability may look around because they have trouble focusing on the task at hand. They may even become aggravated. I have not experienced it either. My concern was if this is occuring. What would be a good way to handle it. Children with A.D.D will eventually become adults looking for careers.

What about students that have A.D.D. OR similar illnesses that can appear to be disruptive in a class room. This could come across as a cheating or angry student. I have not come across this yet, but i am sure I will.

I posed a question on Normative Vs Instrumental. The careers they choose will not always give room for excuses. I try to show the good and the bad of both sides so that they can make a choice. I would like to see more leaders. Do we help them govern behavior or choices?

Do we teach them to be leaders or followers?
