This is a key topic when conducting our Instructor Training programs. Classroom management rest squarely on the shoulders of the instructor and they must learn where to draw the line when sharing personal issues. I always observe new insructors during lectures to see just how well they handle this issue and how smoothly they bring the class back on topic. While we are striving to establish repport with our students boundries must be adhered to. I want my students to know that I am a life long learner and we are on the same path only at different levels. However they have a along way to go before they can call them selves my peer.
