With my type A personality, I do have a hard time in eliminating and reducing my stressors.  I plan to use the techniques that were outlined in this module in order to eliminate/reduce my stressors, as well as the use of meditation in the future.

Great point of using "I" statements when trying to correct a disruption in class.  I will definitely remember that one!

I have not worked in academia in the last 3.5 years, and it does stress me a bit.  I plan to have all my ducks in order by reviewing my Canvas shells with my preceptor before class starts.  I am working on simplifying my personal life by having my lunch ready the night before and getting the dogs' kennels arranged with their food and water, as well as their toys the night before I go to work.

I am one of those people who want to move though tasks very quickly.  I do get caught out the in weeds so to speak due to answering my emails each and every time one comes in and also with grading.  I have a type A personality and tend to want to do things all at once.

I fall into that 95% of occasional procrastination and mostly with my private life.  I have always made "to do" lists but never thought about giving them numbers regarding their importance.  I will have to try this in order to increase my time management skills.

To create teamwork building and a learning space that will help lesson anxiety. 

When I teach a class, I need to be organized and prepared.  I also need to not talk about my personal life, but to also be personable by greeting my students at the first of the class and to remember their names when I call on them during class.

I have learned that I need to have effective class management, especially with disruptive students. I also need to remain calm in times of stress with these students and to give them a chance to talk.

The talkative student can be a challenge, but they can also be an asset by electing them to help out when it comes to teamwork.  The talkative student usually wants to be the team captain as it meets their needs to be center stage.  You can give them instructions on what the team should do and them let them help in completing the work with the team's help.

I will review the syllabus as well as the late assignment expectations.  Reviewing these items will set my students up for success in my classroom.
