Active learning is a great approach to engage students

Really liked the statement the fear of things that will never happen. Also to not be afraid to ask for help as even seasoned instructors have "been there."

Great strategies for variuos types of behaviors you may encounter. Good to learn how to give opportunities if needed and how to remove opportunities when warranted. 

Great common sense strategies given in dealing with various "difficult" behaviors.

I love the iea of icebreakers-so valuable. I really liked the airplane one-never heard of that one before. Also very important to have clear guidance about late assignments and stick to it for all students

This was a great section showing all the different Acts and regulations and what supersedes what-a lot of information in this section

WOW-so much invovled with FERPA and each institution needs to ensure faculty, staff and students know what is and what is not allowed. I did not realize that former students are not covered in FERPA

Each institution needs to ensure clear guidance on its policy and when it doubt err on the side of caution

Student information is confidential and there are laws protecting it. Being a faculty member does not automatically entitle one to student records-only if accessis needed for educational purposes. 

Definition of consent is important so this is clear to all. Differnece of interim measures, sanctions, and remedies. The piece on bystander intervention was informative.
