One good point made in this module and one I firmly believe in is that teachers do not always need to verbally respond to student misbehavior. Just moving closer to the student or giving that subtle look can tell the student all they really need to know to get them back on task.

Very important issue...I always dress the same way I would if working in the industry to demonstrate visually what is required in the world of business.

I liked the tip about watching students from the back of the class for cheating....I've used this before and it really helps!

I picked up some good tips on this one!

Find an activity that allows you to unwind from a stressful day at the office. There are so many things you can do at home like taking your dog for a walk, feed your tropical fish and watch them eating, do some gardening or cooking. Another way is to find a hobby that allows you to be in a calming place like fishing. I enjoy working with clay on a potters wheel and making my handcrafted soaps, even though its my second job i find is very soothing to be in my zone when making them. Actually i am making a batch today to unwind from an incident early this week.

I know that we have all encountered a stressful moment either in the classroom or co-workers. Sure we can stress out with the issue and its shortcomings, but where does it end. I say just learn to let it go and move on. Resentment is worst than stress and you know that whatever outcome..........It is what it is. Life is to short to deal with all the b.s associated with stress.

Do your job to the best of your abilities and be prepared at all times so that your upper management cannot give you a hard time for not doing so.

When creating a priority list I review with my students on which menu items that take the longest to prepare. For example if we are doing a braised shortrib, this must take priority over our chicken noodle soup. In the past we used production schedules to help students break down the time structure of their day. I use the same priority list when lecturing the days content. I use the same structure by discussing the steps suggested for the days lesson plan by debriefing the longest to shortest menu item. I find that the students who follows my lead are the ones who can complete all of their dishes in the amount of time given.

many times students do not have respect for the instructor by not followqing rules And regulations of the class

have all students conduct a lecture in fronr of the class

have them get the interruptions out of their systems

use models and power point and pictures

I rely on my spiritual faith to help me to deal with stressors. I have also found that talking about situations that have caused me stress helps me to cope. The key is not keep bringing up negative situations and at some point let them go from your mind.

Career schools' expectations for the instructors are different from that of non-career schools. Career school instructors have to balance so many things. Things such as getting good instructor surveys and at the same time manage the behaviors of undisciplined students. Then there is attrition. Many students feel that they should be spoon fed their educations just because they are paying tuition. Entering into school is a big step for many students and many think that they have arrived. What they haven't accepted is the fact that they can get an education but if they maintain the same negative behaviors, attitudes and work ethics they will not be successful in the workforce. They may have a hard time getting hire. All of these scenarios can cause instructors to experience on going stress.

Lack of studying and confidence in one abilities leads to cheating

Submit assignments on time

As a degree plan sets the requirements for a student to achieve a degree, many instructors believe that the syllabus should serve as a contract between the instructor and the student as to what's needed to pass a course. What say you?

I find simple exercise helps cope with stress in sevral ways. As a way of healthy coping, it also helps with breathing, it helps with your engery level(fatiuge) to be productive through out the day and helps make me tired so I can sleep better. Regular exercise helps me with my weight, that is one more stresser I don't have and if I am out and some one wants some ice cream I don't feel guilty if I ran that morning.

I find ways to cope with my stress is to coach soft ball on my own time and teach an other skill to kids that are having fun doing what is fun for them is fun for me. its good stress to see your team compete on there level of play.

every minute counts make use of them for each task. an finish each one at a time rather than start all at once finishing isnt so stressfull.
