When you walked in, the teacher, Mr. Samsong, was having classroom management problems during instruction. Students were getting up out of their seats without permission, talking to one another, and drawing instead of paying attention to the instruction. In the class, 11 of the 25 students were English learners. What would you do? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would start by having a list of classroom procedures that the students should follow during certain times. Going over these when things like this happens is a great idea. For example, one of the procedures is to stay in their seat unless it is an emergency or were given permission. Make sure that all the students understand what this means. By going over this can help eliminate some of the classroom disruptions.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I would further assess the situation and decide if I should intervene and assist with restoring order in the classroom. Maybe stop in, perhaps alarming the students since they were not expecting a visitor, and that may be enough for them to regroup, settle down, and behave appropriately as a class. If that doesn't work I would try deviating their attention with a short impromptu lesson about behavior and respect. If all else fails, I would contact an administrator for assistance and relief with the situation/ Rated On: October 16, 2017 4:28 am Rated By: Ramos
