You can take a class of any size and the students will fall into one type of group or another. You may have a couple that are center stage students, a few may have low attention spans, a couple could be ready to give up, or the excuse givers. All this, is what it is, and has been for as long as we have been teaching students. We as facilitators, teachers, motivators, role models need to bring all students together regardless of the class situation. It is up to us to set the bar , raise the standards, and get all students involved in the course and its content no matter what is going on. Be flexable use state changes, ask questions, make them part of the class and not just someone who is sitting in a class. By taking charge of our enviroment, being interactive, showing excitement, and maybe a bit on the wild or crazy side at times, we can bring any type of student into focus and give them back their drive, or put them into their place with very little actual effort. Learnig needs to be fun, exciting, and the willingness to learn is up to us to direct each student in their proper direction. Don't dwell on one type of problem student, this will take away from what is important, and that is teaching our students. Get all involed by choice their choice by how we interact with them.
