If I had only known about the effective classroom management skills, you bring your own, however I think that 101
101 class managment would have been great for me, clear expectations,
relational strategies, clear goals, how to set clear goals. I think if I had had a balance
because you go in, you don't really know what to expect, however you kind of take your guidance from the students
but yet, they're looking at you to take guidance from, so I think a balance of both
a collaboration with other instructors would be good for you you should begin your whole year out with a positive
attitude, you're going to get attitude, but you keep positive in it, because students react to you.
and so if you're having a bad day
they're going to have a bad day, so you need to leave that at home, check it at the door, whatever you need to do and come with
a positive attitude, because those students are coming in, especially if they're working, they're coming in off of a job
they're coming in off of trying to get their children settled, so they have all of this on the inside of them and yet they want to
get educated so that they can grow, so you have to be able to help them and guide them through.
whatever is going on, be considerate, compassionate, but yet be stern about this is the curriculum, this is what we need to do
this is what we're going to do tonight, what I've learned, instead of giving it all to the students at one time.
I'll do a weekly program from the curriculum for me this is what I always tell the students
you can work ahead, however I'm going to work M-F week by week.
