Students respect knowledgeable confident guidance over having an unsure/insecure instructor gets overtly aggressive when put in to a corner during lecture. Understanding your mistakes, owning and making strides to correct them goes a long way.

We make strives to get everyone engaged in the classroom, its much easier in the shop. In the future plans should be made to set clear expectations of student behavior and overall class expectations. 

I will definitely start using the Icebreaker activities more often in my classes. 

What I learned in this module is that it is okay to make mistakes. I think its easy to when teaching a new lesson but as long as you correct it. It was helpful to know that you can be laxed something and make a joke about things to show students that you are human too.

The module helped me understand that a lot of school systems don't realize that having hostile and angry students isn't uncommon and can disrupt a lot of classes and rob students of crucial instructional learning. Having a good administration team who removes the student(s) to allow you to continue with the ones who want to be there is key.

It takes time to learn each student and I feel like having to do it in one semester doesn't give you time to make sure they are successful. Using different activities to keep them engaged allows them to see that they can do more than they thought.

I usually briefly go through the syllabus and ask students to read it in detail with parents. Now I see the importance of going in depth of how they will be assessed throughout the semester to decrease the anxiety for the first test.

I have learned that it is good to create an activity to act as an ice breaker. As well as setting class expedition early and from day one.

I am pot with names - it was really good to hear how important learning g names is in class. And if students see you disorganized externally, they see you as disorganized mentally. 

I appreciate the section. That said if someone thinks they know it, explain it to the class in a language that everyone can understand. If they can’t then they don’t know it as well as they thought
