  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!)
I would split them into groups depending on how much they know about a certain topic. I would do stations with these groups. The students who need the most help would work with you first for about 20 minutes. The students who know a lot about the topic can work on higher thinking assignments first. Students who know some but not all can work on better understanding assignments. Then you can have them switch every 20 minutes. You can make these assignments interesting in order to keep them engaged. That way you can work with a few students at a time rather than 30 at all times.
