My CT does nothing for these students and it kills me that they hate the class so much. What can i do to keep them engaged? I don't need them to love the work, i just hate to see them miserable and refusing to do it. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) This behavior tends to start happening in middle school because they are given more freedom. I would choose one thing each class that they are held responsible for. Example, ticket out the door. It's a small task that is immediately graded. If they choose to not listen during the lesson, they will struggle with the ticket out the door and hopefully see an immediate response when they have a zero in the grade book. Don't expect too much because they won't do it if requires more than 1 minute of thinking.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I like the exit ticket idea!

Having students required to take something out of class time is important and really does make them think more about the topic. Also making sure class itself is not too tedious and repetitive. Change things around and see how students react. Rated On: March 3, 2019 8:22 pm Rated By: MeRepe
