Classroom management strategies

David Marno

As a literature teacher, I can offer specific support to those in the humanities, but my door is open to any colleague interested in classroom strategies, overcoming mentoring challenges, and, most importantly, discovering the joy of teaching for both themselves and their students.

I am joining as a core advisor because I benefited greatly from my own faculty advisor as an assistant professor.

I think one of the most difficult challenges Berkeley faculty face is time management. The competing demands of research, teaching, student mentoring, committee service, and family life can be completely overwhelming at times, and one must learn that not everything can be done to perfection. While I certainly don’t claim to have all of the answers, I am happy to discuss challenges and strategies with faculty who are developing their plan to navigate this challenging but rewarding career.

Throughout my career, I have benefited greatly from the advice and guidance of key senior mentors on everything from teaching and research, to key career choices. I make it a priority to model my interactions with up-and-coming faculty accordingly. I believe that I am a good (and neutral) sounding board, am always happy to listen and offer my feedback without expectations or judgment.
