always try to talk to the student as an equal

It is Amazing  course

Plan to reduce stress through following elimination techniques, as well as others.

As a K-12 educator with over 17 years of classroom experience before entering higher educaiton, I want to offer the view that classroom managment techniques can be taught and modeled but in the end, classroom management is an art that must be practiced and honed and is never fully mastered. What is important is being reflective and responsive to the needs of your class. 

Continue with enthusiasm to generate and motivate students in their career choice.

 THis course help us and teaches us how we can react towars a crisis. And it also gives you tips on individual self care.

This class showed me how to correctly prepair my students for sucsess.

listen to the person, have them talk through the issue and help them sort the emotions out

I think that this is where the challenge exists for many teachers, especially those of us who have transitioned from a corporate arena.  Teaching in a career college takes some getting used to as well.  Instructors have to take into consideration that in the career college environment, goals and final results are more focused on gainful employment. To be effective, therefore, an action plan has to go beyond traditional lesson planning. 

This course was very helpful because it clarify the importance of the first day of class and thoroughly going over the syllabus.   It also confirms my belief on how to treat difficult situations and how to deal with certain individuals.  

I certainly agree that reflection is the path to improvement, whether after teaching a class, or after taking a class. In this case, I particularly appreciated the early comment about the first time you teach a class it is like being a test pilot. I am teaching two courses that I designed for the first time and I definitely am feeling it - particularly in one where I am trying out a "flipped classroom" model fully for the first time. 

I also am going to work on my issue with names. I find them very difficult to remember - always… >>>

  As an experienced instructor teaching a completely new subject to adults, I feel that keeping an open mind in the classroom is very important. I taught high school career and work experience to teenagers for the last thirteen years until recently when I accepted an offer to teach in a vocational school for adults. When I retired from public education I trained as a jeweler with an accredited school in my city. I have continued making jewelry, but now have to learn many of the new projects being taught and some of the same ones that I learned all… >>>

I was chocked by this myth.  I am a program coordinator at my school and i have done your course on Learning Styles (which i don't remember the number) to now learn it's complitely wrong!  I will have to readress this "learning" with my teachers.

Adult student Instructor need to now which type and style he /she is .

The best and preferred style is the guide instructor.

Use the I and not use  you.

Nobody likes change,  but in the medical world change is inevitable. Bringing real life examples into the classroom paints a vivid picture to all of the students of how fast things happen in the field. Following through with the rules helps students know we come to be their instructor and mentors not a friend. Practicing teach back during lectures and randoms quizes keeps them engaed and motivated to pay attention.

I enjoyed the reading for the course. I feel that the content from this course will help me as an instructor. 

Remember, we need to keep our class intrested in the lecture topic.  One of the best ways is to spend some of the class time, and physically get the students up and moving aroud.  While at the same time teaching them about today's lesson.

I teach communication courses and find, despite the challenges of helping others learn and get excited, that believing people will succeed--having faith in them--makes it easier to overcome obstacles and disappointments. I always look at the students who inspire me to help them learn as motivators. They help me overcome disenchantment with other students who don't show similar enthusiasm for the courses I teach. 

So, I've committed to these steps:

• Writing down one good thing that happened to me every day in SimpleNote
• Writing down at least one thing I'm grateful for every day. 
• Blocking out 30 minutes of walking every weekday morning
• Planning on visiting one new place every Saturday
• Mediating for 15 minutes before bed every night
• Joining a Toastmaster group

go to bed around 9:30PM every night would be good for my health.
