I learned that your style can fluctuate based on the dynamics of your class, but being aware of a potential shift and mitigating the change can help the educator remain the Guide.
I have learned the most effective ways to deal with disruptive student behaviors. Very practical methods were revealed within this module.
This lesson has taught me that through the years I have had and utilized at least three management styles. I have also learned that I tend to tailor my styles more to the classes as they too have changed in their needs over the years. Great information in this module!
I have Had to learn to deal with a large amount of strees in my lifetime. This was a great review.
I initially thought that my teaching style would end up being The Buddy, as I strive to make complicated topics fun. I realized that I am more of a Guide, and that reinforces my efforts to become a more effective instructor.
I appreciate that this covers how to manage adult students
Comment on Asho Ali's post: agreed!
Planning ahead helps keep everyone on task and learning from mistakes is important (making notes of those mistakes).
I must be proactive, document interactions with students and keep an open line of communication always.
Calmness is contagious
