Communication is a vital part of any organization weather it is teaching, learning or running a business.

Work groups are a very good way for the students to learn to work with others and to share a common ground for their education.

When work groups are put in place it is a good way to build confidance for the students. By working within groups they begin to see how everyone can contribute to each others success.

Managing your communication skills is more than verbal. It involves apearance, conducting yourself physically, and approaching the class smoothly with an air of confidance and being in charge. this is not to say to be in the role of a dictator but with compassion for thier learnig the topics of the course.make them feel as they are your very existance for teaching and the pride thier sucess brings you. Show your enthusiasim for your work and it will carry over to the class to be successful.

In order for the stutents to be succeddful they need motivation.

Motivating a class offers many opprotunities to get the students excited about the learniong process. The ways to motivate a class is endless if you know the learning styles of your students.

The main thing in the class environment is to remain focused on the students without getting burned out. If you approach each day as a learning experiance for your self as well as for the students the focus stays in place.

It is important to remain focused with the classroom. There are many ways not to loose that focus but I feel one of the better ways for me is to keep the class funand vavy the routine on a daily basis.

Student retention gives me a sense of accomplisment. It is the same as when they do well in class. I personnaly feel that when my students succeed that I succeed with them.

It is good to have a solid stradegy in place well before class begins in order to retain the students. Sometimes these need to be adjusted from day to day depending on the students.
