I actually really enjoyed this course and got a lot of very good classroom tips.
This course was very informative and provided very practical ways to manage the classroom behavior with disruptive students. I needed to know all about it.
great reinforcement r/t my classroom strategies
I have really thought about how effective class management/discipline can lead to a more effective class and how mismanagement or ignoring discipline issues can lead to a negative experience for other students.
The usefulness of 'I' language stuck out to me especially.
Practical techniques, well done.
Comment on Jessica Fraijo's post: I agree and I will be implementing this in my classroom
The way it's presented in the material, discipline and productivity are a mutual effort by staff and students.
Treat one another like people, and have standards of behavior.
It's pretty common sense, maybe some minor caveats that need to be observed that have been found to be most effective thru testing and runtime out in the real world.

I like that advise on sending a student a note during class time, never done that one before. I have to try that approach.
Managing a classroom is much like managing employees
I learned effective ways of politely correcting the adult learners.
I learned some discipline tips
I enjoyed this module because it reinforces our control over our classrooms regarding students with behavioral issues. It is vital to understand how to control and diffuse situations before they get to a state of disruption or danger. As we know, some students are disruptive as a way to deflect from other issues or as a way to get attention. Identifying the difference is significant when addressing the behavior. Also, being able to recognize that the discipline approach will be different depending on the structure of the class you are teaching. I do not handle similar situations the same way if I'm in the lab vs. just the classroom.
Several important strategies were discussed on how to manage the classroom. Meeting a disruptive student after class is the highlight of my lesson.
One of the greatest presentations I have ever come across. I have learned a lot from it and for sure it will help me in the long run on gaining classroom control.
Adult learners are stakeholders in their education and should have input in higher education
I particularly liked the coaching provided in the disciplinary side of this section of the course. The classroom revolves on the best behavior. Setting expectations and follow through with the disciplinary side of the job… always reflect upwards in your chain for administrative back up.
I learned strategies to use when dealing with behaviors.
This course taught me how to better manage the classroom setting.
