I always try to set the stage for my students. When the students see what the class really is going to contain and how they will learn, it usually will keep them interactive.

Since I work only part time as an educator at our campus it makes more sense to take my work with me rather than making a space at the shared office. However, this has been quiet a challenge when at home my items have been taken from my car without my realizing it. Also, hard to stay organized with the packing back and forth. I do a cleanup at least once a month and give student papers back as soon as I can. This seems to help.

I just finished with this module and found it not only to be very informative, but kind of "fun". I was able to see myself, as well as, other educators I work with in the lesson. It was interesting to me! What does anyone else think? Any management styles other than the four presented here?

Learning and Observing is important in the classroom. Listening can difinetly help a student if they are angry.

Students being focus throughour the classroom can be tuff. In my classroom I try to keep the students busy. I have a lesson plan for each class so we can stay on track.

There are many different learning styles that can be used in a classroom. It is important to pay attention to all the different learning styles. 77% of students in the classroom are Visual learners.

This is a topic we talk a lot about at our college. Teaching adults it is easy to slip into "friend" mode. This is a big mistake. Students need to see you as a professional. Not above the class as on a pedistal, but as the professional instructor they are paying to learn from. You can and should be "friendly" but not "friends." Can you think of a time that you, or another instructor fell into this trap? How did it end?

I think this is a very valuable skill for instructors to cultivate. Deploying this skill effectively requires getting to class early and being prepared before students arrive. Being prepared allows you to greet students and assess their body language and reactions. Soon into a class you can pick up on changes. From the way "Suzie" comes into the class you can sometimes know whether she will need some extra attention, or perhaps to be let alone for a while. The key is getting to know your students. What example can you share of how successfully monitoring students has helped you in one of your classes?

In our part of the education industry, retention of students is vital. Even more importantly, it is the right thing to do. When you see a student starting to lose their motivation and getting ready to quit, it is time to go into action! Hopefully by the time a student gets to this point, you have already learned about them and what motivates them. Refocusing them on what brought them there in the first place is usually a good place to start. Reminding them about their desire for a better job or a better position in life, can sometimes help. Just the additional interaction you have with them during this discussion can make a difference. What are some methods that have worked for you in the past to remotivate a ready to quit student?

I appreciated the section on increasing student participation in discussions. Many of our students are reluctant to share in class. The more you can make the environment relaxed and non-judgmental, the better participation you get. I try from day one in a new class to facilitate this participation. I use questioning throughout my classes. This helps to bring out those who are trying to hide quietly in the back of the classroom and shows everyone that everyone has something to give. What do you do in your classes to help facilitate participation?

The challenging student is more difficult to bond with and often has few adult relationships. As a teacher, it is important that you go out of your way to show your students that you like and value them. Simply going out of your way to greet your challenging students each morning or asking them questions about sports or hobbies they are interested in is a way to display that interest, which in turn fosters positive relationships.

Consider and establish an individual student's need (or lack of need) for assistive technology work toward developing a system of tools with which a student can use to address identified needs link assistive technology assessment and intervention align purpose, expected results and evaluation measures when choosing and using a system of assistive technology tools

Presented to a classroom for the first time is a challenge to knowledge and a personal impact. We must prepare. Gain recognition and acceptance of students takes time. I think respect goes hand in hand with the skill we develop to solve correctly the problems of students, when they themselves note that advance that are close to your goals and go hand in hand with us. As you rightly say, we are human and make mistakes as such, it is wise to correct, and humor is definitely a great tool for this.

Once you get involved the things you have done your whole life become easy to share. The help of seasoned instructors is allways good.

The adult students seem to have a lot of external pressure. In some cases they do a great job dealing with it. My hat is off to the students taking care of family,working and going to school. I think it is good to praise them for that.

Trying to keep them involved and listening to them seems to work most of the time. You cant look away!

Sometimes, though I wishes to maintain that student difficult, it is practically impossible for disturbancia that exercised over its peers, however, in response to this topic, use a mediator could be a way to win. thanks

I go over the syllbus every class room each phase and make it very clear. They are all handed one also. So what do you do with the students that never bring there books and ask for another handout almost every class?

It is inevitable to find all these types of students seen in the topic, I think that the group the more difficult is the student who is not aware of the class. After doing my own evaluation (two-way communication), I think that a good strategy is the "Document of minutes". The student is forced to write something and also knows that it will share in public, with their colleagues in group.

The time limit for delivery of the tasks is usually the highlight of course, there are always 2 or 3 that do not comply, there are always excuses. It is a good strategy to gradually reduce points as the days pass and fails. Thank you.
