Case: Lack of focus
I have a student that I work with in the classroom who will often be playing with some object that she has (and needs) such as a pencil and eraser. Or she will want to talk to me about something off topic (TV shows, animals, etc) while the teacher is instructing the class. I have tried telling her to listen because this is an important topic, and even tried saying "We can talk about this after we are done with the work and the teacher is done talking". However, it seems no matter what I do I cannot get her to pay attention. Any suggestions?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The student may have ADD or something similar. Also, you could try an interest survey to see what interests her, what her learning style is, etc. Then tailor your lessons to make them engaging for her. The fact that she is playing with objects makes me think she could benefit from some other hands on activities as part of your lessons. |
