  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!)
Managing a class this large can certainly feel daunting, I think a good first step is really ensuring that your classroom expectations are clear and consistently enforced. Additionally, it will be of utmost importance that you lessons are engaging for students and appropriately differentiated based on readiness and interest to minimize off task behavior as much as possible. Finally, I would highly suggest trying to enlist parent volunteers to help with some of the "housekeeping" tasks of the classroom so that you can fully focus on the students.

Comments: Yes! Parents love to volunteer. I think this is a fantastic idea. Making cutouts, stapling papers, and preparing materials are all things parent volunteers can do to allow you to focus fully on students. I also agree with differentiating and making your expectations clear at the start of every lesson.
