Case: Small Group Issues
I work with a small group of students everyday. These students on their own are not too problematic, but together can be very challenging. Due to my obligations and feelings of my CT, I must keep the group as it is. They are constantly off-task during my instruction, making rude comments to each other, etc. I have tried both offering rewards for good behavior and the appropriate punishments for not behaving (I've done both a phone call home and given a few lunch detentions) What would you suggest to help correct their behavior?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would have them sit so they are not directly next to each other if possible. Also, perhaps the students feel that group time is a "break" from class time and feel like they can act out. Maybe you could start the group time by explaining to the students that their work is their first priority and it is important that they work hard to finish. Sometimes communicating with the students up front what is expected of them can prevent undesired behavior from occurring. |

Comments: If I were in this situation, I would do exactly this. I feel that sometimes students do feel as though group work time is "break time" which is problematic because group work time should be a time of collaboration and productivity. I feel that by explaining to them first what is expected of them and then having the groups a little bit spread apart will help with the situation. |
