Great tips in this class.!!
Management styles:
I learned the 4 types of classroom management & which I am, the closest to, & which is the best to be.
- The controller
- The guide
- The buddy
- The Apathete
I feel that I am the guide for the most part with some of the buddy attributes in there. I plan to be even more the guide with less buddy. The controller, I have many of the positive attributes. I aspire to focus on more of the positive sides of the three types, & be sure to never be a Apathete.
Comment on Tom Hayes's post: I am sorry to read this. Perhaps it is time to change environment. As long as you are willing to change there is always the possibility!!!
This lesson gave me a lot of insight. I have a combined guide and buddy style instructor styles. I will focus on being more of a guide instructor rather than a buddy to provide the best education to my students.

It was helpful to see this module. I learned that I share attributes with the controller, buddy, and guide. I want to be become more consistently a guide.
I see myself as more of a Guide. I thoroughly enjoy teaching my particular subject. Teaching has also been in my my future. It makes me happy to watching the progression of the students ability to learn a new subject and flourish.
I have learned that an instructor should be a guide in the course and not an apathetic when it comes to course management.
Good reminders of how a good instructor should teach.
Great tips! I flex between The Guide, The Buddy & The Controller depending on the group of students I have at the time. Arriving early to be accessible to the students is a great way to encourage engagement as well.
