In post secondary education, we pay for the information, experience, and teachers' attention. When we have students that are developmentally still a teenager, who are for example; tardy and/ or disruptive, the learning environment is stressed. More of the teachers' focus is on making sure they catch up, and less on getting more in depth into the material being studied.
I finished first year two years ago, then took time off for pregnancy and rearing my newborn son. Now I am continuing with second year, and have entered a new class with it's own dynamics. I am curious to know if there are any tried and practiced techniques in use, on how to keep focused on the material and not the antics in the classroom. Ignoring them, is one way, but when we are required to often work as a team, it can be impossible.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
