Get Your Students Hired
For my inattentive students, I walk towards them in a class setting. If the behavior is repeated the next day or within the same class period, I have a private conversation with the student. Usually, the answer is they are bored. So, the first thing I do is some self-reflection to see if I need to change my delivery method or make the content clearer for understanding.
I like the idea of making a "talkative student" an observer. I am going to try this method in my class.
We often spend more time talking about how to deal with the students who are disengaged and behavior problems. It was nice to hear some strategies for how to effectively teach students who are very bright and engaged but may be taking opportunities away from other students by hoarding the spotlight.
it may be benefical to meet with inattentive students during office hours to ensure optimal outcomes
I have seen inattentive student in both the school setting and the workplace setting as professionals. This discussion helps identify to pull them in a collaborative work assignment.
This information is very useful in how to deal with center-stage students, keep them engaged, while allowing opportunity for the rest of the class to participate.
This module helped to identify various student behaviors and ways to manage them. It also hinted at student engagement.I plan to use this when teaching adult learners.
This topic helps to keep students engaged but also sets standard for various student behaviors in classroom.
these are great strategies for dealing with defferent types of students. I really like the "use it wisely cards" this ensures all students are given the opportunity to speak during class. I think it also encourges quieter students to speak up.
It is very important to be observant with students. Everyone needs to be managed but most will require different strategies. Really good tips for dealing with challenging students for me as a new instructor. Younger students right out of highschool may need some guidance to adjust out of high school mentality and be more attentive.
Strategies for helping the more shy students become more active in class were things like group projects, asking questions for them to answer, asking them how you can make the subject matter more interesting to them, etc.
Dealing with late assignments from students can be handled by giving more heads up on important due dates and reminding students they will be hired on their ability to perform or produce a product, so being late will not fulfill this outcome.
Basically some people will alwasy try to be the Alpha Male or Alpha Female and attempt to run the show. Don't let them. It may take a sidebar. Eventually they could become a great aid in the Lab. Don't let them steer the conversation. Some of them have an attitude where they think because they are paying to come they get to run the show. You have to quickly quell that and explain to the class that they are paying for a specific content, they do not get to decide what it is, how it runs or the results. They are they to learn the content we are providing for that particular trade.
This course really assisted me in learning how to deal with the different personalities of the students. How I speak to them will also determine how the interact. I do like the idea of assigning the center stage student as an observer and note taker.
You are not going to change the behavior of center-stage students, you can only control it.
I like the idea of writing a minute paper at the end of class summarizing the days content.I feel it will engage those students who have not paid attention to the days lesson.
I have seen these different types of students, The ones that bother me are the ones who are distracted by cell phones, etc. I find it difficult to compete with TikTok for their attention. Walking and standing near them does help, but I have found myself having to ban the use of their devices during lectures. The rest of the behaviors I have not had difficulty dealing with.
