We've cut down on "paperwork" by using online materials and resources rather than printing handouts.
For profit education schools tend to have a huge range of generational as well as learning types.

We have a policy of calling every student if they miss a day of class. This builds a lot of relationship between student and the institution.
In a for-profit education environment it is sometimes hazy who the customer is; is it the student, the hiring industry, or business shareholder. Can be discouraging for faculty.
We hold meetings every 6 weeks to verify that the syllabus goals and learning objectives, daily lesson plans etc. are all in alignment.
I find students often don't realize the every day impact of utilizing technology, and or basic computer knowledge as it applies to their field. (we are a culinary school). Getting them to see the application by using every day sales reports, revenue statements etc. and how they are generated really helps.

I believe students can learn minimizing stress by using proactive planning and lists for each day.

Our industry (culinary / hospitality) has a very serious issue with substance abuse as a stress management outlet. Best that we talk about that with the students so that they don't get trapped with unhealthy behaviors.
We use online testing to allow students to manage their own time better, as well as opening up class time.
I emphasis with my students to plan their productions schedules around a "front end loaded" perspective. To be better able to incorporate more dynamic (flexible) time management should things change "on the fly"
