I woudl take one day at a time.

ED104 is a great training course for someone like me who have many years of work experience but new as an instructor. It shows me methods and techniques for managing students and class acitvities. I learnt the strategies to effectively deal with unfocused and challenging students, and also to be a good instructor.

Thanks!

I found this module helpful.  This can also be applied in other settings.   

I think this course has a few tools to use to reduce stress such as sharing your stress, doing exercise, breathing, stretching for 5 minutes and getting enough sleep. There are ways to reduce stress in the work and make our lives easier to be more productive. 

thanks

There were several aspects of this course that were new to me but also a good reminder to incorporate some of the items I already knew

I have learned over my short teaching career that by sharing my personal and professional experience regarding the current teaching subject, students tend to become more involved and increase their classroom participation. The student also increases their retention and understanding of the topic at hand. Therefore, I will continue to share my stories of the teching subject with my students.

Great course

This was a GOOD TRAINING

I know that when I am able to be more present in the classroom that the rapport I build with the students and instructors grows tremendously, thus making everything else work smoothly!

I intend to share the information on MANAGEMENT STYLES with my Academic Director so we can review the information with our Professors during our next faculty meeting. The goal is to help them to evaluate their classroom managment styles and become more of "Guiding"instead of Controlling.

Classroom management is the key to a long and fruitful student instructor relationship. They need someone they can relate to as well as respect! 

The training for a first year teacher was truly insightful. I have learned have to impactful to those around me. Every student deserves a chance to be successful whether they are in trade school or a four year university. 

Making class fun and exciting often helps with retention and team building exercises

I have the best group of co-workers.  These fellow instructors work together, we help each other and learn from each other.  They are the best resource!  I have also discovered through the years, that I think I have come across every possible classroom scenario, and I still run across new situations every term.  I learn a lot from my students!

I really enjoyed taking this coarse, I enjoyed refreshing my mind with some of the already practices I use is a classroom setting. Thank you for making the coarse so interesting.

One of the things I can use right away was learned near the end of the course.  

Not being uneasy about doing the right thing poorly and recognizing that this is part of the learning process and that it is the only way to get to the final block (doing the right thing well) is helpful.  Knowing that I am not alone in this worry is also helpful.  I will be more confident about having to do the right thing poorly when this comes up in the future and not be so worried about it.  This is something that… >>>

I think being a new instructor I overwhelmed myself with too many what if's, like "what if my students don't take me seriously," "What if I make a fool out of myself," as well as others. After going through this course I was able to relax and have some time to reflect on my purpose and goals are. So for me it is going to be about taking some time to decompress and reflect, as well as to not be afraid to ask questions or for help. 

This course helped me to re-evaluate certain things that I've been doing and also giving me new insights.

I found this course educational and relevant to my workplace. My plan is to organize my files by scanning/uploading my course material and handouts to an electronic filing. This in turn should slim my hardcopy files and make locating materials much easier, in turn saving me time.
