Without addressing stressors, it is very likely you can develop stress-related health issues. 

Identifying specific stressors can assist in finding solutions to alleviate those that we can control. 

Proper time management equates to more time overall in your day to perform tasks most efficiently. 

Making sure you feel in control of your time is key. Do not let students or administrators dictate the control of your time. 

Humor is a useful tactic in the event that you make a mistake. It let's the students know you are human and that you do not see yourself as infallible. 

Making an angry student feel heard is an effective way of dealing with their issues. Listening can be an easy and helpful tool in assisting an angry student. 

Clearly outlining expectations can help maintain a positive classroom environment by keeping students focused on the tasks they know are expected from them. 

Clear parameters on how students will be graded ae helpful in alleviating anxiety they may have about passing the course. 

Always prepare a demonstration prior to class. This will reduce the likelihood of any hiccups and also make you more confident in your delivery. 

Getting to know your students will help teach them more effectively. Have them introduce themselves and provide information about yourself and your background to develop a rapport.
