Task management with less stress

Task managing should not be stressful. The things that you know you already have in order should be reviewed for changes and then all other task at hand should be prioritized. Each week I make a list and review it on Wednesday to make sure that the rest of the week will still go as according to plan. This will allow me to anticipate any changes and adjustment that need to be made for the week ahead.

no-homework Ned

I had a student in my last class that didn't do any of the homework and was late to most, if not all of the classes. It was a one night a week class in a 6 week term. I feel I gave him every opportunity to make up his work and yet on the last day of class he still had nothing for me. If it weren't for the homework, he would have passed the class. Any suggestions on what else I could have done?

I liked the first day assignment and ice breaker activities. Looks like we'll be flying some paper airplanes around the room before the first week is over.

Inappropriate vocabulary with challenging students

In my first week ever as a teacher, I noticed that some students in order to make the point across the room they used inappropriate vocabulary even after I pointed out in the beginning of the class. So, I lead by example!!! By the second week the incident continue and I stop the class and gave them my own experience of life. They took it so personal that I did not hear any other unprofessional language.
