How are you currently getting students to “buy in” to your course, especially in today’s environment where attention spans are shorter and motivation can be low?

One of the biggest things I’ve learned from this module is that student management goes far beyond just handling behavior, it’s really about managing the entire learning environment. That includes how the classroom is set up, how content is delivered, and how students are engaged from day one. I also learned the importance of balancing being a subject matter expert with becoming an instructional delivery expert. It’s not enough to know the content, you have to know how to break it down and present it in a way that connects with students.

When I have really talkative students I will find a different activity for them to do in the kitchen. This lets them know that I am keeping an eye on them and they need to be on their best behavior

I learned that writing down all of your tasks on a to do list and prioritize them is much more effective. 

I set my expectations on day 1 in my class. In this module that is the correct way to do it. Since I teach a professional trade class, they need to be on time,in full uniform, have all assignments done on time, work as a team and in a professional way. If there are any issues I address it right away. I do find that yes there is 10% of students who would take the zero instead of taking a better grade. 

Classroom management is essential and starts day one.  Also, being prepared for the classes is important.  One cannot go into class and have no idea what will be taught that particular class period.  Setting guidelines that keep you as the teacher and a student as a student. 

Just how important it is to set expectations at the start of the class and use the syllabus as a means for delivering those expectations for class and assignments etc. 

as being a new instructor, it was helpful to read and see some of the concerns ive been going through! I will use some of the techniques I learned bout
