  Case: Sleeping in Class
Mrs. Will has noticed that some of her students are falling asleep in class which leads them to not grasping the content of the lesson and scoring lower on tests. What can Mrs. Will do to keep these students awake and ensure that they've learned the lessons?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I had this problem happen at the beginning of my first year of teaching. I found that the easiest way to fix this problem was to constantly monitor the class. Walking around the room, constantly reminding students how important it was to pay attention. I also realized that maybe if I got them up out of their seats more during class it would wake students up and encourage them to pay attention. They will not know if I am going to call on them to complete a problem on the board. I also found that using stations during class gets students more interested and involved and it is hard for them to put their head down.
