  Case: Classroom size
Many areas of the country are facing classrooms that are literally busting out at the seams. A report at NEA two years ago discussed how schools in Georgia, in the midst of major funding cuts for schools, had no choice but to lift all class size limits to accommodate students with the faculty the school system could still afford to keep. How can you manage a class that is 30+ students?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
You can spilt them into small groups where each student has a role to contribute to the group, If you have six groups of five it seems much more manageable.

Comments: I agree. Maybe have groups of 5 or 6 with one leader. The leader can conversate with the teacher and learn what is expected for the day. The leader can then guide their group through the lesson with the teacher close by. We have to be able to adapt.

Comments: I think this would work well. Instead of having to address individual students you can say "Group 4 is ready..." or something similar. Have each student be accountable for something in the group. Each student is like a building block of the group, if one is not stable, the whole group is affected. Consequently, if one group is not stable, the whole class is affected.

Comments: this is a great solution for managing a large classroom. It provides students a sense of responsibility if they are assigned roles, as well as better social skills because they are able to discuss within the group about the lesson.
