  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 think talking to the teacher is and asking her why the students are sleeping in class is a good idea as suggested. To put different perspective on it though, I would say asking the teacher in way that shows concern for the student. Sometimes when a student is sleeping in class it is not out of disrespect or lack of interest in the classroom activities. It could be a sign that something troubling is happening in the students home life or social life. There could be something that is troubling the student. It might be helpful to bring that to the teachers attention or if the teacher already knows, maybe she could fill you in so you can gain a better understanding of why this is happening. Maybe you could reach out to the student and actively include them so they feel less compelled to sleep and want to participate more.

Comments: This is an excellent solution! The teacher may be aware of situations outside of school that makes the student tried. Checking with the teacher about the situation and seeing what you can do to help the student in that class is the best coarse of action.

Comments: Perfect response. I think it could be related to other personal cases that the student could be sleeping in class. The teacher may know the answer and that is why they just let it happen. I would ask them if everything was okay at home and would take it upon myself to get them help or get with them to set a time of what was done in class that they missed.

Comments: This is a good solution, you don't know every student's situation. Many students are in unavoidable situations at home where they can't sleep and if they aren't rested they can't focus

Comments: Good idea. Talk to the teacher about the reasoning behind the student sleeping in class. If needed talk to administration about it if further action is needed.
