Open "Mic"

Thanks to NTI at GSU, I have had a much better school year than in the past. I have felt more prepared and much more in charge of my life in general. Various contributory factors have improved my year. Because of proper planning and organizational fortitude, my first week was a charm. Having a list to begin the year was important as well as the lesson plans for my first nine weeks. Another example of improvement has been classroom management, something I certainly have struggled with in the past. As we learned this summer having the rules spelled out where the students can see them, has been most helpful. As always I have some students that misbehave, but it is much easier now to get them back on track. Lab management planning was another item high on my list of improvements. Utilizing the students in designated positions has been helpful to me and fun for the students as well.
