Instructors need to know how to manage the flow of instruction in their classes while engaging all of their students in the learning process. Managing student behavior is a necessity if courses are going to achieve the stated goals and objectives. This group is for educators who aspire to discuss and master the competencies necessary for exemplary performance and top customer service in a dynamic, rapidly changing education landscape. Group members share best practices, ideas, thoughts, reflections, and resources to help colleagues across the globe improve performance.
Take notes from each class to identify the challenges and be better prepared for any obstacles that may arise in future classes. Mistakes can become learning experiences when implemented with humor.
Address and acknowledge each student in their own way. Cheaters will seize an opportunity to cheat if it is available. Structuring tests and presenting clear limits will discourage cheating. Sitting in the back of class to observe during tests/quizzes can be a better alternative to walking around the room because it does not make students feel like they're being observed.
It is beneficial to the instructor and the class as a whole to include the students that want to be the center of attention while also getting more reserved students to participate, especially in group work. It earns the respect of all students and actively shows that each person's contribution is valued.
Ice breakers, team building/cooperation, and posting due dates for assignments in multiple places will help with student engagement and reduce late assignments.
I learned that exercising helps reduce stress and improve sleep, and taking time to take some breaths can relieve some stress for a few moments
Don't be afraid to fail. Learn from mistakes and don't be ashamed to ask for help.
Move around the classroom more. Make sure the classroom is spaced good to prevent cheating. Set ground rules and follow mandated instructions for discipline problems so they won't dominate the learning environment.
I learned to get students to understand the importance of the lesson as well as include everyone and to pay attention to which students are centerstage students and those who just want to get by with less responsibility.
I have learned a lot of helpful information. It was very informative and I can't wait to use these techniques in the classroom. Teamwork, making the syllabus more interesting, and letting them know the WIIFIM.
One of the things that really stayed with me was the fact that crises are subjective and everyone experiences and deals with them on an individual basis. That's why talking with people often helps them.
