It's okay for students to see that you too can make mistakes.

With my CTE course I've found projects help prevent cheating.

I like the observer tip! maybe the students notes could be shared with students that were absent.

The importance of a syllabus! it helps hold all accountable and is great for visual learners and children with anxiety.

As a new CTE instructor, what if comes to mind as much as am I prepared, Im preparing and once I have, I think the what ifs now will go away and show new what ifs.  lol  that's life

I like the different options/choices in icebreakers, setting the stage, and also the info about buddies, we can relate to some students more than others, don't be dedicating too much time on one or a group of students, be available and look for opportunities to engage with students, the quiet ones especially 

stay in control of your class, don't let a "problem" student destroy the learning in your class, take every opportunity to work out the issues the student is having and in worst case follow proper school procedure to have the student removed from class  document interactions with student and options given, dates and times of these consultations

getting whole class involvement and keeping the class main stage in check will be a challenge but set the tone on the first day, be consistent and make sure the quiet ones aren't being quiet 

I like the ideas for icebreakers, as well as being warned about the 10%, but it wont always be the same 10%

The importance of having detailed information and how to make it stand out for the students in the syllabus

"Whats in it for me" is not a new concept for me as I was a manager before and adults lean on this one heavy   Understanding that my students may/will have this same attitude or outlook isn't terribly surprising but I hadn't put any thought into it playing a part in my classroom/lab. 

I appreciate the strategy presented that talked about taking on one stressor at a time.  I find that this is related to the earlier topics of time management.  Prioritization and to-do-list thinking seems to be key here when "chipping away" at a stressor.  

The biggest stressor that I experience as a teacher is always the incongruity of expectation versus reality.  We work very hard as teachers but the reality of our paychecks at times conflicts with our passion for this profession.  We also prepare diligently but then can have a class that does not respond in the way we thought they would (or perform in the way we thought they are capable).  It is part of the job and I have learned to accept the disparity and work within its confines.  This training has several strategies that I will use.
