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!) After talking to your CT and figuring out why she allows the child to sleep, you should take it upon yourself to try to get this child engaged. If you go over and sit beside them when they get to class and begin to talk to them, you may be able to break the cycle of them coming into class and going to sleep. If you were able to successfully get them engaged in the lesson by simply sitting beside them, they will benefit greatly.
