All this information is very helpful. I do have a student in one of my classrooms for each of this categories and I constantly let them know how important they and what advancements they are making I also mention the WIIFM approach and that seems to work.as well. I do like the idea of the 5 color cards as well.
i learned different ways to handle a challenging student. A effective way is to meet with the student after class to get an understanding on why they are acting a certain way.
Very informative-thank you!
This module provided helpful tips on engaging and managing inattentive students, blaming "others" students, and apple-polishing students effectively so that you can continue to manage your classroom. Building positive relationships with your students, setting clear expectations, and using proactive approaches to prevent disruptive behavior are essential for maintaining control of our classrooms. I liked the suggestion of standing beside the inattentive students without causing a scene and the one minute essays.
Include all students to remain engaged.
I think it's important to utilize creativity during lecture to incorporate all students.
I have learned that some students like to be the center of attention and ways to control their behaviors in class.
Good suggestions on managing challenging students
When addressing challenging students, I’ve learned that it’s best to address it right away by first assessing if it’s something with your instructional style that’s causing the issues. If not, then address each student individually and ask for their feedback about the course and then collaborate about how to make the course more engaging.
I currently have a center stage student. I like the using-it-wisely idea. I will definitely have to try it. Walking around usually help my inattentive students.
You're assuredly going to have a diverse classroom in the way different students interact. this module helped give ideas on how to deal with the different types of students.
Dealing with people who are not paying attention I have found out it is best just to walk over and stand by them. If their behavior continues then you can call them out or engage them in the conversation by asking them questions.
I have seen students inattentive, disruptive by using cell phones, or talking at the back of class room, I usually look towards them and they may try to put away their devices; some also are testing boundaries; I think putting the standards and requirements needed in class and reinforcing the rules help them that they need to be accountable for their actions. The best strategy I do feel is the :Use-it wisely cards" which helps limit and boundaries.
Students being interactive keeps the students engaged and involved.
I don't know if I necessarily agree with these tactics. I think that students are smarter than you think and that they will figure out why you singled them out and gave them cards. A better way is to work with them and ask others questions and get others involved. This diffuses the situation and makes it easier to get everyone involved without singling out one individual with unusual treatment.
Holding accountability is an important factor in student learning. It is important to teach the class as a whole, but also individually address different learning styles. Challenging students are a part of teaching so it's important for instructors to understand this, and get comfortable with challenging students and how to best serve them.
Very good suggestions on how to handle the talkers.
I find that it is best to understand the students that you serve before jumping to conclusions as to why they are being inattentive or noncompliant. Sometimes, if you can understand the student's issues, you can best adapt to help their success. I would tread lightly with this concept, because you do not want to be so lenient that you lose the concept of accountability.
Its good to know how to deal with Professional excuse giver
Very informative about different student personalities and managing each type. As the saying goes, "Different strokes for different folks." Dividing the class into groups indeed has been a very effective strategy in managing students who are not engaged. I like the 5 colored cards; each student will have a fair share of participation time.
