I have been noticing many new teachers that come into teaching and for a long time they blame their mistakes on the fact that they are new. This bothers me. I agree with many that have said we are only human and like any other are prone to make mistakes. However, we should be more accountable for those mistakes and simply move on. Help students to know they can count on you, but they can also rely on you to be a real person, accountable for what you do. Have confidence in your abilities. Students do not like when teachers are not confident in their abilities, because then they will be unsure of their own.

I have been having an interesting dilemna recently. I teach the beginning course for many of the medical programs at a career college. Many of my past students have been returning to me asking for help with their teachers or their coursework, which I am not trained to teach. I have been simply advising them to make sure they consult their teacher. Another problem is they become so exaperated with everything that they enter my class at any time, including when I am in the process of teaching my current class. Typically I invite them in to talk about how my students can prepare for their programs. In what other ways could I handle situations like these?

I find it very difficult to accomodate those students who missed work that was done in class. Practical assignments are no problem but the lecture material is what I'm having a hard time with. I offer my students a thumb drive of the lecture material but few take me up on that. Could use some ideas.

having a guest speaker come in and speak to students is a great idea. it gives students a chance to visualize themselves as successful and happy. the reason i chose to go back to school after so many years was i saw how happy people were when i went to dr appts
