Case: Not disruptive, but not attentive. Cellphones in classrooms.
You have students in your classroom who are not behavioral issues or sleepers, but they are not attentive to the lesson. The student would rather play on their cellphone or text friends then get engaged. How would you address this issue without turning the issue into a confrontational conversation? Is it worth addressing this student at the expense of losing the rest of the class?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
My solution would be to call on the student to answer the next problem, or to ask them to explain their understanding of the concept. That way, they are not being called on due to their lack of focus. This may cause embarrassment, and instead you are just calling on them to engage in the lesson. |

Comments: I think surprising students with questions when they obviously aren't paying attention can cause them to not want to engage with you even more. Being direct about the problem will show the students you r are observing them and give them a chance to start paying attention. |
