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!) Teaching in chunks and giving breaks to stand up and refocus help this area. I have also made this type of class setting a more hands on learning environment to keep them busy.
