This module helped me understand that managing students isn’t just about discipline. It is about relationships and awareness. I learned how important it is to first reflect on my own approach before reacting to student behavior. Sometimes a small change in how I communicate or show support can make a big difference. I also realized that every student has a story behind their actions, and finding the right strategy, whether it’s encouragement, structure, or accountability can help them succeed. Moving forward, I plan to be more intentional about observing students’ needs and addressing issues with patience and empathy.

This module really opened my eyes to how handling late assignments connects to preparing students for the real world. It’s not just about taking points off — it’s about teaching responsibility and helping them understand that deadlines matter beyond the classroom. I also learned how important it is to clearly communicate expectations from the start so students know exactly what’s expected. Moving forward, I plan to give reminders before deadlines, stay consistent with my policies, and use late work situations as a way to talk about accountability and time management.
