Students quickly get off task if the pace is not on their level, too slow or too fast, they will tune out and begin disrupting the class. It is important to pay close attention so that I can stop the problems before they esculate, in order to teach as much as possible. Allowing student questioning and active involvement is necessary to the learning process. The teacher should not always be talking. Students need to see the teacher as the authority while sharing their own ideas and participating in class.
Centers are great ways for students to be active.
Rules must be clear and enforced. This allows the teacher to pull out students for reading groups. Otherwise the teacher will walk around monitoring and assisting where necessary. Students who have special needs may require extra time from the teachers. They may need more encouragement and time to complete work.
