This course was helpful in suggesting strategies for disruptive student behaviors, especially when they need immediate attention, but appropriate action.  I will definitely try some different approaches to these behaviors as they arise.  But I think if managed appropriately, those interruptions will be minimal.

This course was very helpful.  It gave me some insights as to where I began to where I am headed in my teaching and management style.  It does change depending on some lessons and activities, but for the most part it’s consistently headed in the right direction.  I am going to continue moving forward in the right direction for the benefit of my students, the school, and myself.

These are great tips to use in the class to ensure that the learning environment is conducive to everyone. 

I actually gained a little more insight/perspective about myself as well as some of my fellow instructors. This was great information and it was validating in some ways as well.

This was great information. I want to incorporate more group activities to encourage learning not just from me as the instructor but from their peers as well.

The course pointed out several key ideas to better manage my live online class

What do you find best fits when working with a classroom with many different personalities? 

The main thing I learned is that being the best instructor takes a balance between buddy and controller, to be the guide.

It's a good approach to use the "I" language as the module states it gets the student's attention and it's less confrontational. It is also a great idea to have the students actively involved in the development and the review of the school policies, this should also help with a high level of compliance.

While the focus here is in the classroom setting, as a clinical instructor the most rewarding part of this experience is to see the students strive in their clinical placement and reaching their full potential. Students are often received with lots of fear of the unknown, I've always created a friendly and nurturing environment. Provide 1:1 timely evaluations to assess their skills, areas of strength and areas requiring improvement. My approach is non-judgemental and I am always available to support their needs.

What strategies could you use to redirect stage centered behavior from students?

I learn we need separating we professional and personal live, we need to provide students with incentive to achieve .

Making the "leader" the observer is an interesting teaching move I wouldn't have thought of  

What are the best ice breakers you have used in your classes?

Learning about the diff. management styles was insightful. I learned each has (+)'s and (-)'s, and which is best for optimizing SN learning.

I really enjoy the idea of assigning the role of "observer" to "center-stage" students, who will take notes, summarize and share with class ONLY after called upon by instructor.
