Effective classroom management begins with self-awareness and a commitment to growth. Understand what type of instructor you are. Know what areas you need to improve, watch others and learn.

I was aware that procrastinating had a negative impact on time management but It was very interesting to know from this module that immediacy could also be detrimental in managing time effectively. 

The course has taught me to address the disruptions in class and to address them accordingly. 

The course has taught me to set clear expectations and ensure my class is organized. Students must understand the expectations, rules, and procedures in the classroom.

There are a number of unique ways to deal with disruptive students during class. It's a matter of properly engaging them and finding a method will be cause them to be more engaged without taking away from the remainder of the students in the class,
