Have a plan, be prepared and be able to adapt to fix mistakes.
I learned to listen to the angry student and allow them to be part of deciding the solution.
Having a strategy for inattentive students and center stage students to allow for all students to be engaged.
I learned the importance of setting the standard for times assignments are due.
That most fear obstacles.
Listening is important.
Provide different teaching techniques for various learners.
Setting standards and defining goals are best practices.
Preparation before class is the best way to avoid some of the jitters before class. I am the last person who wants to stand in front of a class room full of students I don't know personally. I look at it as the first day of meeting a class room full of students wanting to learn how to work in an industry I happen to love. And so, I cant wait to meet and get to know them.
We all have our moments. I have always tried to give the angry person the benefit of the doubt, that they are mad about something else, and I am just the lucky guy that gets to help them through it. LOL
