Because we turnover classes so frequently, we see a lot of students who think that they can teach the class because they have already done what we are teaching. I am not sure how to exactly handle those types of students. I tend to pull them aside to remind them that I am the instructor

I find that it really helps the students to gain an idea of what they can expect from the class by having the students give their own life experience as it relates to the class. This is accomplished on the first day of a new term while discussing the syllabus and the expectations of and for the class

I am a new teacher and have had an especially difficult time deciding how to approach late/missing assignments in my class. I teach English Composition in a culinary school and some of my classes are pass/fail. I received complaints last term for outlining a rigid late assignment policy and then not sticking to it. Essentially, one of my stronger students felt that more students should have failed the class based on turning in late work. I tried to give my students high expectations at the start of class in order to push them to do their best and be punctual, but as the term progressed I felt it was important to also show flexibility on my behalf. Is it possible to push students to turn everything in on time, but later show flexibility when that 10% fails to turn in their assignments? Is it possible to be both firm and flexible or must I choose one or the other? I just find late/missing work especially difficult to deal with when I am teaching a general education class that is graded pass/fail.

Students with challenges need tutoring

Instructors make the mistake of not catering to all students' learning styles

Students need to focus more

Studentd need more rationales for learning

I have found through my years teaching that unfocused students require a variety of stimulants to maintain their attention. I enjoy breaking up the routine of lecture with visual aids such as power point presentations, videos, or guest speakers.

I find that some students want to be your friend. Then later on I find those same students wanting special treatment when they show up late or don't hand in an assignment on time. I try to be firm, but fair with my students. I always try to maintain that barrier between student and teacher. It just makes things easier in the long run.

I had a student that was one of those "apple Givers". He was combative with other students and disrespectful of all. Eventually I caught him stealing. I privately confronted him, and explained the severity of his actions. I told him I was not going to pursue it, but if I caught him again all bets would be off. The very next day I caught him stealing again. It is now in the hands of the director.

I just taught a class that I found myself constantly having to repeat everything I lectured about. Upon further investigation, I found that half the class had a language barrier, and a few others had learning disabilities. Even though the students are instructed to bring these challenges to the instructors attention, they often don't. It took several classes to get to the bottom of this, and in an excelerated program that is valuable time lost.

As an instructor, students look up to you with high expectations. By maintaining professionalism in and out of the classroom, the students will repsect you as an instructor and a individual.

We can ellievate cheating with the classroom by giving small, mini quizzes, tests. Make these quizzes/ test unexpected. By doing this students will not have any time to preapare for cheat and will be preapred for class.

In order to capture the student's attention the instructor should persent the information in an exciting manner that is profession geared.

By implementing activities, games, researches, current events, and various discussion that stimulating to student’s psyche, not only doe it evoke thinking but, evokes thinking out of the box. This enhances their knowledge as well as self confident and success in life.

I believe that students need information about the path they are about to choose. I talk about the needs of our service in our field, the demand for excellence, the pride and show them examples through senarios.

I believe in showing example to the students. My rationale is because the is a hands on technique. By showing students what you are looking for in a particular situation, I believe they would have a better understanding of what the outcome is expected. As a result, this will increase productivelty in the class.

There are many thigs that new instructors are concerned about and being respected is at the top of the list. Being able to establish themselves initially is necessary to have control in the classroom.

It is important to give instructors ample time to prepare for class. This helps to put the instructor at ease. Lesson plans and powerpoint should be available for subs.

There are several things that you can do to reduce the desire for students to cheat. Give the students the opportunity to test more frequently with a series of exams throughout the course. This allows the the opportunity to increase their grade and the overall final exam grade. Making realistic demands when developing your exams is another way of reducing the pressure to cheat. It is important that you develop a good rapport with your students and by doing this, you will develop a sense of the student's abilities and whether or not they are disciplined.
