  Case: Sleeping students
During my internship class my cooperating teacher lets students sleep during class. The students walk into class and put their heads down and sleep the whole time. She dosent try to wake them up. What can you do as an intern to make the students stay awake during class?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would talk to the teacher and see if there was a reason that she let the students sleep. If it was for a negative reason I would try to alert someone to the situation and also try to get the children more engaged in the lesson

Comments: I agree that the first step is to ask the CT why she allows students to sleep in class. From past experiences I have has students take medicine at lunch that makes them sleepy and I have also had students that come from a home that makes sleeping impossible for them. If it is multiple students though and is reoccurring with no reason at all I think it would be best to talk to your University Supervisor. They will instruct you on the right channels to take if they do not reach out to someone themselves. I would also encourage you to have more engaging lessons that would encourage your students to stay awake and participate.
