Class Involvement Do you feel like you are or have had
trouble getting your students involved in class?
First few classes – What were some of your concerns as a PL and what do you think were some of their concerns as a student?
Making a student feel comfortable and important in the classroom
It’s all about the little things – EX. remembering their names
Some great ice breaker ideas• Big Booty, “Going on Picnic”, 1-2-3-4-5
Purpose:• Getting them out of their chairs and
interacting with others• Getting them out of their comfort zone• Getting them excited
It’s your first class, 25 kids in a small classroom, like Keene-Flint, how would you conduct the class?
Take 3-5 to build a sketch lesson plan!
Silences are ok, so be comfortable with them
Be consistent throughout the semester when it comes to your expectations of their involvement
Your role as a PL is not only in the classroom• Maybe that extra individual contact and
accountability with the student will boost their confidence in the classroom
• External factors causing their absence in participation and class involvement
It’s the middle of the semester and there are two students that are still not engaging in class activities. How would you handle this?
How many of you have already done this with your class?
This outreaching experience greatly impacts your class dynamic• Highly encourage you guys to schedule it as
early as you can!
Those few students that stay uninterested and uninvolved in the class• It is vital that you still give the class some
importance to them, how do you do this?• Build those individual bonds with them and
make it more meaningful because of the relationship you share with them
• Individual accountability
Acknowledging their progress Remember how hard it is to transition
into college
Don’t take it personally• We all know that we are in this to help other
people and in some way impact their lives.
