How do I demonstrate courtesy to my students?

Comments

Well done. It was good and educational to hear this. You can be courteous and respectful, but be firm and solid at the same time. There is a balance that has to be constantly addressed.

Thank you, Felipe Salazar, for your input on all the different approaches that helped deal with the students! I find that as an instructor my kindness is taken as weakness. I need to find an approach that conveys to the student that just because I understand their unique situation(s) they will still need to be held accountable.

Students look at the instructor as a leader. When they feel disrespected or inferior its important to reassure them they can learn.

Well done. I can relate to this. I have found that there have been students who felt I was disrespectful to them, especially when I was dealing with more than one difficult situation at a time. I should have stepped away, given a 10 minutes break to regroup instead of lash out as was my instinct. Thank you for your video.
