Get Your Students Hired
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.
Through "Dealing with Challenging Students" module, I learned that there are different reasons why a student may be challenging. The module gave examples of how to approach these different kinds of students. I will try to apply these methods in class, and will try to remember that every student is different, so I may have to try multiple methods.
I like to include all students if possible in our discussions. Some students have strong personalities who love to be the center of attention while others are timid to speak. Getting everyone engaged, gives the timid students a chance to be heard.
This course has been informative on how to engage students of different personalities and home situations.
I learned that there is nuance in dealing with students and my behavior and my perception of their behavior should be well-contemplated
There are many different types of students in each class. With that, each student behavior needs to be handled according to their own needs.
There are several strategies to deal effectively with challenging students. Inattatentive students may become motivated by your close physical presence or the knowledge that they may be asked questions at any time. Ready-to-quit students can benefit greatly from encouragement or from guest speakers who have overcome similar challenges as students. Apple polishers can be kept in check by using firm policies and applying rules fairly and equally. Center-stage students can be managed with the use of personal meetings to explain the need for others to participate or the use of comment/question rationing cards.
I always have a attention seeker I like the color card idea as a way of controlling the students and making sure others ask questions
I have experienced all of these challenging behaviors in the classroom. Having a plan of action to address different issues while respecting the student is important. I love to use classroom engagement activities and discussions to keep students present.
My biggest issue is "class clowns" who wants everyone to laugh at and notice them. I find that if I don't have assignments that last the entire class, students get more rambuncious.
Challenig students needs attantion and i could learn differnt teahcing strategies to deal with them
There were great strategies in the lessons. One strategy included dealing with students that love to be centerstage I learned from the strategies that were discussed one of which use it wisely cards would be beneficial to allow all of the students an opportunity to talk and involve themselves in the discussion this is a great opportunity to allow your students to talk and be involved but however in charge of the rest of the class is also contributing to the discussion
I learned the first step in dealing with unfocused students is to look at how you're handling the situation and evaluate if there are any changes you need to make as an instructor before automatically thinking it is the students that need to change.
In this module we learned how to manage different types of students. There will be many different types of students and as instructors it is our responsiblity to learn a way to work those students to ensure the entire class is benefiting with your learning.
I like the approach of speaking to the student after class however that is not always probable. I have found that creating group projects in class and statng that each person has an assigned role however that role must be rotated within the group so the speakerlleader/note taker is not always the same person. I found that this encourages the spot light students to assist their classmates and brings the quiter students out to the forefront.
I found it useful to consider moving about the class to engage students who are not attentive to refocus.

Instructors need to be attentive to students of different ages, and learning styles to focus on keeping everyone engaged. Making sure that you treat everyone fairly, especially when it comes to talk time in class, grading, and turning assignments in on time.
Being a new instructor I am still learning the ways student can manipulate. If only they would use this energy for their studies.
