This section went over the different types of students in class. It also gave strategies on how to work with them effectively.
I really enjoyed the minute summary suggestion. I often get through my material very quickly. I love my subject and sometimes get carried away. I think the minute summary would help to keep my students' attention and help solidify what they learned in lecture.
It was interesting to see the different strategies on dealing with each type of student. I can picture each of these students as one of mine that was discussed. I will incorporate some of these strategies.
Different techniques are useful in dealing with inattentive and talkative students.
I like to make sure that I include all my students in discussion and group activities to keep them engaged.
Be sure to have the students understand their difficulties and you explain to them their shortcomings in professional manner.
This is something I struggle with. I have students that I meet with individually to ask about their attention span in class, The ones who take responsibility for themselves tend to have better outcomes. There is always a student who blames everyone else for their shortcomings. These students are hard to get through to, but I do give them encouragement and try to figure out a way to get to a common ground with them about class participation.
Inattentive students can be disruptive to the whole class, I like the idea of the seating chart where instead of allowing them to be in the back they are front and center, also the strategies discussed regarding accountability are very helpful
I find that the longer I teach the better I am at correcting the issues with inattentive students. There were so very good ideas in the presentation.
It is important to remain constant with all students.
I learned about how to deal with inattentive students. I learned that younger student usually struggle the most with paying attention. I learned you can observe your students as well to assess for better ways to engage the students. If they are struggling to pay attention, may have to change up the style of teaching.
Great information, I will be able to really apply what was covered in this section to my classes. Thanks for sharing.
I have learned that it is easier to call on those who seek to be the center of attention but include all students in the discussions and activities.
I really like the group concept, and will be trying this next class.
I learned that I need to know the personalities of my students and do a little bit of "crowd control" so that all of my students are involved equally and in a way that is beneficial to them.
I appreciated the idea of the 5 colored cards in class.
Use their energy for the class
This was very helpful and applicable with the challenging students. I have experienced several of these situations/students and this information is going to be really helpful to implement.
