time control
I think that having control of your time and managing is a crucial element in the success of the students.
It is indeed, realizing that the students are the reason for our work. Should we fail in an area they are likely to pick up on it and loose a level of respect. On the other hand, they also pick up on our follow through to commitments that we have made to them.
Not only having control of your time is a crucial element in the success of the students, but can be just as crucial if the instructor does not have control of his time and appropriate time management skills.
be mentally prepared before starting class,is the key element to success.If our mind is busy with other things than teaching,then we might forget some important things to do, that is we are no longer in control of our precious time to devote to our students.
Mental preparation is so important Jacky. We really have to get our minds as organized as our teaching materials before we get started.
This is also a good strategy. However, I think that the most urgent ones are first. These could either be difficult ones or easy ones. For me it is the urgency that is most important.
Procrastination tends to catch up with us, no matter how well we try to stay ahead.
Regardless of the reason, procrastination can be detrimental to one's daily life. The best way to ease the unavoidable and impending stress due to it is to avoid the situation altogether by staying ahead.
