Use as many drumsticks as you can fit in your slow cooker. Since the skin won't get crispy in the slow cooker, it's best to remove it before cooking. Sprinkle a generous amount of salt and pepper on each of the drumsticks to enhance their flavor as they cook. Since the drumsticks are so large, you might have trouble fitting more than 2. You can lop off the ends of the bones if necessary. The liquid is necessary to flavor the turkey and help it cook evenly and slowly in the slow cooker. Fill up the slow cooker until the turkey legs are completely submerged. For extra flavor, add a packet of onion soup mix to the pot. Or add the following: 1 teaspoon (6 g) salt, 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) pepper, and 1 teaspoon (3 g) garlic powder. Plan ahead so you can time the drumsticks to be ready for your dinnertime. Transfer the drumsticks to a plate or other heat-proof surface and allow them to cool for 5 to 10 minutes. The turkey meat is delicious served with your favorite sauce over noodles or rice. You can also add it to a casserole or soup.

Summary: Remove the skin from the drumsticks. Season the meat with salt and pepper to taste. Place your drumsticks into your slow cooker. Cover the drumsticks with chicken broth. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 8 to 9 hours. Let the drumsticks cool. Pull the meat off the bones.

Air drying your thick hair likely takes forever, so you probably don't like waiting for it to dry. However, air drying your hair is much better for the health of your hair. Let your hair air dry when you can. For instance, you might wash your hair in the evening so it can dry before bed. If you don't want to wait for your hair to fully air dry, try to let it get at least halfway dry before you use a blow dryer. This will prevent damage to your hair while still allowing you to achieve a sleek style in a shorter amount of time. For instance, you might shower a few hours before bed so your hair can dry a bit before you blow dry it as part of your bedtime routine. If you wash your hair in the morning, you might shower first and then do all of the rest of your morning routine while your hair is air drying. When you do heat style your hair, always spray your hair with a heat protectant to minimize damage. Follow the directions on your heat protectant to apply a thin layer of the product to all of your hair. Heat protectant can minimize damage but heat styling is still damaging to your hair. Using a low or medium setting protects your hair from damage. Stick to the lowest setting that works for your hair. It may take a little longer, but your hair will look better.

Summary: Allow your hair to air dry as often as possible. Let your hair air dry partway before blow drying it. Apply a heat protectant to your hair before you blow dry it. Blow dry your hair on a low or medium setting.

It's important for your students to know that they can trust you as an expert in your field. When you introduce yourself, tell them how many years you've been working in your field and what you have achieved there. Then they'll know you know your stuff. Tell them how long you've been teaching your course. If you've been teaching the same course twenty times, let them know, so they have a sense that you've created the best course possible. If you're new to the classroom, however, don't let your students know so they don't see you as a pushover. Once the introductions are out of the way, it's important to let your students understand your expectations so they can meet them. Have a well-organized syllabus that shows them exactly what to expect from every day of the course. Answer any questions they have after you go over it, so you can clear up any confusion. Whether you're teaching children or adults, it's important to have a clear code of conduct, which shows not only your expectations, but the punishments if your students fail to meet them. Common code of conduct rules include showing mutual respect and avoiding disruptive behavior, such as using texting, talking on the phone, or whispering in the back of the classroom. Whether you're giving a quiz or a final exam, it's important to make sure the assignment is fair and useful for your students. They will be better students after all of your hard work, and will thank you for being an understanding teacher and classroom leader. Have a study guide. Before an exam, tell your students what they can expect to be on it so they don't have any surprises on the day of the test. Provide sample problems. Give your students practice problems so their skills are sharp on the day of the test. To be a good classroom leader, you have to find new ways to introduce boring old material to your students. If you don't mix things up, your students will get bored and distracted and may even lose respect for you. Bring current events into class discussion. Even if you're not teaching a history class, you can find a way to bring up current events, whether it's something related to the government or sports, and tie them into your material. This will make your students feel that your discussion is relevant to the real world. Have unique activities that get your students moving and thinking. Allow your students to create their own paragraphs, board work, skits, or any other activity that may help them understand an old concept in a new way. To be a good classroom leader, you have to prove that you care about your students' success. Be kind and approachable in the classroom, so they respect you but aren't afraid to ask questions. Give good feedback on both written assignments as well as your students' in-class responses. This will show that you care about them on an individual level and want them to succeed. Thank them for a great class. On the last day of class, bring them a special treat, or write them a note to say how much you've enjoyed having them in the classroom. This will make your classroom experience end on a positive note and will show what a great leader you are.
Summary: Show your expertise in the subject matter. Establish your rules on day one. Have fair assessments. Be creative. Show your students you care.
