Case: Boys Will Be Boys
There must have been a baby boom of boys a few years ago! Our fourth grade classes are majority boys. In my class, I have 7 girls and 18 boys. This dynamic has been difficult to balance. I have noticed the boys are very talkative and playful (sometimes very disruptive). How can I tailor my plans to appease the boys as well as the girls interest? What are some daily techniques I can try to get the boys more focused and less playful?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I teach ELA in middle school, and some of my classes of 30+ students are 2/3 boys. As a result, I try to incorporate movement in every class, even if it is having students vote by standing or sitting. In addition, I have a row of desks at the back of the class to allow students to stand so they can squirm around without disrupting others. |

| Comments: I like the idea of having the standing desks in the back of the room, it can be helpful for students with lots of energy and students with possible attention disorders or anxiety. |
