All tasks will fall into a combination of importance and urgency. Important and urgent, unimportant and urgent, important but not urgent, and unimportant and not urgent. Many find that they are always doing those tasks that are important and urgent because they spend the rest of their time doing things that are not important and not urgent. If we can spend more time doing those things that are important but not urgent, our stress is reduced, because things will seldom become urgent (at least not the important things).

I feel some students use "anger" with the school to justify thhier actions or inactions (lazy-town!) "Why sould I do this work if the school can't be bothered to issue me a parking pass" It is so importaint to diffuse this anger and refocus responsibility back on the student!

one mistake i have seen over and over with new instructors is admiting when they are wrong. i find if i make a mistake and i own up to it and say something like"hey we all make mistakes" it lets the students see the human side of you and yes it is ok to make mistakes as long as you learn from them.

I usually pull them out of class and talk to them. if problem continues student gets written up then management has to deal with them. problem solved.

It is often a struggle to go by a student liking me over especting me. I know as I grow in this field it will become easier to master this

I have found a lot of success when just listening to an angry student and using a method called the 2 minute rule. Give them 1 min to vent then ask them if they need another min. This method I learned from a resource called the 21 ways to diffuse anger and calm people down(Michael staver)

I have found that these students who are innatentive process information in a different way. We often present material real well to an auditory learner, but most visual learners will grow bored quickly by this proccess. What i alwatys do is measure my students learning style before beginning class

I have always made lists in order of time each task will take and importance to learning activity related to class focus particular day..works

especially young ones. i usually will pull them aside and have an adult conversation with them alone to find out what the problem is and i just dont let it end there. everyday i ask them how they are doing and if the "problem" is still there. they seem to appreciate that some one cares and that they can come to me if the problem starts again. its amazing how far a little recognition and respect goes they feel they can trust you.

first day of class I first introduce myself, let students know who i am where i come from,my credentials. then i go into what the class is about. first i talk about the projects and how they are graded on them. then i talk about class patricipation and how they are graded on that. quizzes then attendance and i stress on the attendance because like in the real world you have to be an employee that is there in order to get paid. i also set the stage for how class is run and what kind of respect i expect if they want respect in return. i find being strait up with the students and not sugarcoating anything goes alot farther than leaving any grey areas and having to re explain the rules and guidelines for class

I ride my bike to and from school, and it is great way to reduce stress physically and mentally

Usually upon completing a lecture, instructors ask their students for any questions they might have. However, I have found that students put forward the best quality questions when some time is set aside during lecture to encourage them to ask their questions. Otherwise, a student may hesitate to ask their question, then miss the relevant opportunity during lecture to actually ask it.

I have started creating a to do list not just to prioritize but to also help me remember what I need to complete in a specific day. Students will constantly stop in to say hello or to ask for help during prep time and tend to loose my train of thought.

I have a student who does not know when to stop explaining her question or adding a story. I want the students to be able to talk but she is becoming too much. Any ideas of a polite way I could gain control.

i like to ask what the students do for work , when they get to my class.

SHARING CERTAIN EXPERIENCE WITH THE CLASS OF THE SAME SUBJECT MATTER, PUTS STUDENTS AT EASE. THEY KNOW YOU KNOW THE SUBJECT. THEY KNOW THAT YOU ARE HUMAN. WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES, BUT AS INSTRUCTOR. YOU SHOULD GO BACK AND CLARIFY.

I FEEL THAT WHEN STUDENTS CHEAT, THE INSTRUCTOR SHOULD HOLD THE STUDENT ACCOUNTABLE. FOLLOW THE SCHOOL PROTOCALL. YOU'RE NOT HELPING THAT STUDENT. WHEN THEY GET OUT TO THE REAL WORLD, THEY STILL WILL NOT KNOW THE INFORMATION.

Enforcing standards in the classroom, keeps students all in check. They are on the same starting ground.

Setting comfort zone in the classroom, should always be set the 1st day. Lay out the do's and don'ts. Be clear and calm.

Because we are a vocational field, I find that it really lets the students know your strengths when I share with them my experiences on the first day. This sets the tone for the expectations as well
