• Students differ in how they organize and express ideas. (The “how” of learning)

• Require students to be in seats before the tardy bell

• Time bell ringers and factor in participation grades

• Institute a tardy sign-in system for tracking

• Alert parents of students who are notoriously tardy

13

• Document notorious offenders on board or chart

• Use participation grade system

• Contact parents as frequently as possible

• Use an in-class TOR system for students who refuse to work but cause disruption-- isolate the student from regular classroom activities with grade penalty.

14

• Assigned Seating (Change it up occasionally without warning)

• Use a student desk or table to make a teacher station in the midst of the students

• Be organized, structured, and prepared each class period. Students know when teachers do not have it together and they capitalize on it.

15

• Be unpredictable in your teacher input strategies

• Use novelty

• Make real world connections

• Incorporate technology Connections

• Personalize/Involve the affective domain

• Involve kinesthetic activities

• Model/demonstrate/showcase

• Assess frequently

• Motivate, encourage, and inspire
