First Impressions

Quick Teaching Tip

By , About.com Guide

Your first impression is very important for students. Are you organized? How do you handle small discipline issues and interruptions? Do you stop teaching to deal with small issues that could be better handled more unobtrusively? Are you a yeller? Do you just let students talk and walk around when you are busy doing something else? The fact is, students make quick judgments concerning your effectiveness and style. Come prepared with a good discipline plan and you will be one step ahead of the game.
