Be respectful towards the students. The reason why you should do this and be respectful towards students is because if you give them respect then they will return the favor. If you don't believe me then just watch how much disrespect the kids will show you. You don't have to be on your knees giving so much respect, I don't mean it like that, just enough to make you not seem like a jerk. If there's one thing I can tell you is kids don't respond very well to a disrespectful and mean teacher.
Another tidbit you should remember and follow would have to be get to know your kids, don't just be a teacher. There's a difference between a good teacher and a great teacher. If you show the effort to get to know your students then in turn they would want to get to know you. They would look at you in a different way, not just a teacher who just teaches but a person that cares while teaching. Believe me it makes the utter most difference.
You should also tell your students about you. You may find that you can relate in some ways or more to your students, you might be surprised.
Be very organized with papers. Students hate it so much and it aggravates them to such extreme when teachers loose students papers when they actually do their work. Loosing their work makes them want to cheat and or not do their work any more. They see it as if she/he looses my wok then what's the point of doing it any ways. So keep your stuff organized some how.
My last advice for you teachers out there is to make your teaching as easy as possible, yes I know that it's easer said then done but try and manage any ways. If you make the lessons broken down then the kids would understand it better. If you make it hard then the kids or students will not respond as well to doing the work or home work. Students don't really like asking for help as much as you think.
