Time Management
The bell Rings.… No, it’s not the beginning of class period nor is it the dreaded crocodile coming to get Captain Cook. It’s time moving on. Most people often report their inability to manage their time is the biggest problem they face. Time management is a skill few people master, but it is one most people need.
We all have many demands on our time: friends, relationships, families, movies, lesson plans and on and on. How can we best come to grips with time management? Most time management experts say that one of the first things people need to do to manage their time is to determine how they spend their time now. A tool for doing this is called a “Time Audit”. Put in writing how you spend your time audit to see how you spend your daily time. Once you have completed a time audit you can begin to change the way you manage yourself in relation to time.
Did you catch that? Time really can’t be managed. You can’t slow it down or speed it up or manufacture it. It just IS. Time Management Is Managing Yourself.

The Assertive Teacher and Time Management
What Is Assertiveness?
Assertion means standing up for what you want. Stating your needs clearly. It means expressing opposition. It means confrontation and it takes courage. Some find it harder than others because of their natural easy-going style and therefore more practice is required. However, the aim should not be just to gain a win. The aim should be to solve a problem and get the best result. Assertion should not be synonymous with aggression because aggressive people adopt a I Win – You Lose” mentality to achieve their objectives. (When dealing with parents and their kids it must be a win, win situation)
Assertiveness does not come naturally to all because we have all learned passive behaviors to stave off confrontational situations. However these behaviors can be unlearned and assertive behavior used to produce results that benefit both the teacher and student. (Communication is key for today’s teacher)

The Building Of a Winning Attitude
Attitude towards ones commitment makes the difference; the attitude in which we approach our work as teachers and students makes the difference. Must be able to talk attitude if you are going to build one. The following suggestions might help give you that edge.
1. Mental Preparation The Unknown Ingredient: Teachers must win the mental battles.
2. If a teacher or student is going to succeed in the classroom they must be focused and must stay focused through the long haul of a semester. How To Focus:
Forget The Past – Concentrate on what you are going to do now and in the future.
Out Work Effort and Attitude – Leave no stones unturned. Must do the little things to be successful. Never assume.
Commitment – Be the best, give 100% effort.
Utilize Your Abilities – Find the best way to put your students in a position to win. Don’t ask them to do things that they can’t do.
Seek personal Bests – Challenge yourself each and everyday to get better as a student and Teacher.
3. Attitude Is The Foundation For Success in Life – 100% attitude is the vehicle in which you and your students should ride. The following numbers add up to 100, which equal 100% effort. The numbers underneath each letter of attitude represent their placement in the alphabet.
A T T I T U D E
1 + 20 + 20 + 9 + 20 + 21 + 4 + 5 = 100
We as Teachers when formulating our winning ingredient for success we must find a way to be different and that difference normally comes from ATTITUDE and EFFORT. Within each and every student we must attempt to generate a positive attitude towards the person, their learning style and applying themselves, which can be measured in the type of effort they give towards achieving their goals for success (grade). Each and every day that a student goes and attends class; teachers must ask that their students apply themselves, which equals attitude and effort. Dare to be different, dare to focus, dare to improve on your attitude for success, dare to give 100% effort, dare to be the difference maker in a students live.
