I think over preparing before teaching a new class is a great way to feel confident.
The steps to take to keep all students engaged in learning was very informative.
I learned new strategies to work with different kinds of students. Also, learned reasons for behaviors in the classroom and how to respond.
I learned the importance of presenting students' with the syllabus so know fully understand requirements and expectations.
I've been in this position for 3 1/2 years now and still feel like an impostor. But I move forward every day and do my best to teach.
Keeping track of a disruptive student is key when it comes time to reprimand them. Proof is always needed. I recommend a sit down with the student. Where the issue is written up and they have to sign it after discussing what happened, how to better handle the situation, and possible outcomes if nothing changes.
The individual self-care tips were practical: alternate activity and rest, stay busy, talk with people, avoid self-medication, make concrete decisions
Being mindful of how my mood and what I say to them can have a major effect on my students.
The Golden Rule really hit home. The expectations being posted right up front without question is something I can really agree with. I had an issue with that in College. I didn't know when anything was due by, so it stressed me out quite a bit.
By just being more mindful when I'm experiencing stress and doing something to mitigate it.
