ОглавлениеLack of Focus in Whole
Group Instruction
Some students will be more attentive in a small group where they can receive more direct instruction. However, most teachers need to instruct the whole group, which is especially true as students get older. Many students have language-processing deficits. Some students tend to lose interest quickly, especially when less attention is paid to them directly. If they begin to drift off and lose focus, they may draw other students off task as well and slow the learning process for themselves and others.
Solutions!
• Begin the lesson by asking the student a question that will draw him into the main idea of what will be discussed in the whole group. This personal connection can help the student be more interested and engaged.
• Call on the student often to keep him interested, and ask him questions about which you know he has background knowledge.
• Give the student a specific task that requires him to be regularly engaged. Set up a plan with the student to ask one question relevant to the topic each class period.
• Seat the student in a preferred location in front of or near other students who pay attention.
