Managing the Class & Students

Public

Ask a question from your peers to help you in your professional work. Seek different points of view on a topic that interests you. Start a thought-provoking conversation about a hot, current topic. Encourage your peers to join you in the discussion, and feel free to facilitate the discussion. As a community of educators, all members of the Career Ed Lounge are empowered to act as a discussion facilitator to help us all learn from each other.

Having a group of people "buy in" to your teaching style can be a difficult thing. The management of a class will ultimately determine how well the student recieves and retains the course matter information.

Ready to Quit

I value the suggestions for interacting with a "ready to quit student." I try to encourage students across the board, but as I see students lack motivation or have complancency to do average or below average work, I hope to avoid dismissing the chance to reverse this.

Coping

You must identify your stress factors and eliminate them. Placing goals in order and facing what is needed to maintain a smooth working environment should be a coping mechanism as well.

Procrastination a habit

Procrastination is a habit but with focused goals and a constant change in behavior it could be changed for the best.

Repeating Mistakes

â€œA strategy for avoiding repeating some of the above mistakes is to make notes about how a lecture, demonstration, or activity worked for you.â€ I think it would be helpful for new instructors to know that a lecture that bombs in one class might get a standing ovation in another. Don't just throw out a lesson plan because it didn't go so well with one class. Try it out on a couple.
