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!) Unfortunately school classes are not for sleeping. A talk with the cooperative teacher might give you the reason why she allows them to sleep. A plan should be created for them to keep them awake or wake them up if they fall asleep. It can be because they are not sleeping well during the night because they are connected to social media. Talk to the students individually to find out the reasons why this is happening and involve parents is they are not having enough sleep during the night. I do not think that they sleep during other classes, they sleep in this particular one because the teacher is o.k. with it.
