The lesson taught me classroom management effectively, and reminded me different methods to address students behaviors when needed. It is very useful to remind ourselves that there is a support system in administration and maintain other adult learners respected and ready to learn environment.

I enjoyed the explanation of the variety of viable classroom management and teaching styles and learned some important tips to help me find the style that works best for me.

Having a student who is quiet in class is sometimes harder than someone who is outspoken. This is because you don't know if that student is learning or just shy. Creating opportunities for students to cheat increases the chances that cheating will occur. Finding and handling a cheating student can be just as hard as handling a student who is being disruptive in class. Both, though, have to be dealt with and can increase your rapport and respect from the other students. 

Dealing with a variety of different students is a factor that plays in education. Some of those students will be good and will do what is asked when it is asked. Others, on the other hand, will not be so eager to do things. Sometimes these students have good reasons as to why they did not do something while others play the game of working harder to get out of things versus just doing them. Being able to navigate through these different types of students is beneficial 

Be clear about what you expect from your students and what they can expect from you and the class. When designing activities, include ones that have teamwork as part of it. Not allowing late assignments helps prepare them for the workforce, as being late or turning in stuff late out there is not acceptable. 

Planning and following the plan.

When dealing with a challenging student, I think it is important for instructors to first reflect on their own teaching and consider what might be contributing to the situation. Instead of immediately blaming the student, we can try different teaching strategies, communicate expectations clearly, and talk with the student to better understand their concerns. Being patient, approachable, and flexible can help build trust and create a more positive learning environment for everyone.

I support inattentive students by using clear, concise instructions, breaking material into manageable segments, and incorporating brief opportunities for active engagement. I also check for understanding, provide individualized guidance, and encourage effective study strategies to help students remain focused and engaged in learning.

Fostering positive rapport with students and encouraging them to seek assistance when needed. Breaking complex material into manageable segments to facilitate comprehension and promoting the use of spaced study techniques to support retention and long-term learning.

In the previous module I named the three teaching styles I combine, which were authoritative, facilitator and democratic. I have found in this section that those three describe the guide, which is what I identify with. In an effort to continue as a guide, I will be more active in giving good feed back to my students publicly, and establishing rules and expectations in the first few days of class. It really does help eliminate a number of misunderstandings.
