Teaching Strategies for Students Who Need Extra Attention
Let's face it, every classroom has that one student (or perhaps more than one) that just needs “extra attention.” He or she may be diagnosed with ADD/ADHD, be a behaviorally challenging student, a disorganized student, a slow or differential learner, a special needs student, or even a gifted student. Whatever the case, they need more attention than the others.
What joy it would be to have a classroom filled with super organized, eager-to-learn, overly obedient, little angels who can't wait to get started

Whether you’re teaching your students how to enter the classroom in the morning, turn in work, circle into groups, or even how to sit and attend during lessons, modeling is the most effective and efficient way to do it.
Yet, it’s an area many teachers struggle with.
The truth is, your ability to model what you want and expect from your students in large part determines your success. So it’s important that you’re good at it, that you’re able to model in a way your students can understand and perform with excellence.
Too often teachers assume that their students are the problem, that the reason they don’t follow routines or directions very well is because they’re not listening or paying attention. But more often than not, the real problem is that the teacher is making one or more of the following three modeling mistakes.

5 Ways To Avoid Overwhelming Learners Social media constantly bombards us with information from all directions. Combine this with a heady dose of FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out), and we can be sure to get inundated in the oncoming flood. An overwhelmed mind is ill-equipped for learning. Scientists and researchers have time and again proved that cognitive overload (the situation when we’re faced with more info than we can handle) is actually detrimental to the learning process. What counts is that learners have understood the content well enough that they are able to translate it back in their learning environment.

How to Be a Global Thinker
Students recognize that the whole world is worried about the crisis, but that most people don't know what to do about it. Nurturing global competence will require more than adding more continents, rivers, or capitals to our already full K–12 curriculum. It will demand that we revisit two foundational questions: What kind of learning are we actually after? and How can we best nurture such learning? Students can learn to take different perspectives by listening to, writing, and publishing stories.
THE WIDGET EFFECT
Our National Failure to Acknowledge and Act on Differences in Teacher Effectiveness
Effective teachers are the key to student success, yet our school systems treat all teachers as interchangeable parts, not professionals. Excellence goes unrecognized and poor performance goes unaddressed. The focus on teacher accountability has been rooted in the belief that every child deserves no less than good teaching to realize his or her potential.
The Widget Effect is a wide-ranging report that studies teacher evaluation and dismissal in four states and 12 diverse districts and reflects survey responses from approximately 15,000 teachers and 1,300 administrators.
Key Findings:
- All teachers are rated good or great. Less than 1 percent of teachers receive unsatisfactory ratings, making it impossible to identify truly exceptional teachers.
- Professional development is inadequate. Almost 3 in 4 teachers did not receive any specific feedback on improving their performance in their last evaluation.
- Novice teachers are neglected. Low expectations for beginning teachers translate into benign neglect in the classroom and a toothless tenure process.
- Poor performance goes unaddressed. Half of the districts studied have not dismissed a single tenured teacher for poor performance in the past five years.
