I would tell Brian that I'm happy to work with him to find a routine that works best for him to balance his work and schoolwork at the same time.

Vary my movement, the pacing of my voice, my facial expressions, have students get up and move around (stretch break).

Could we work out some strategies to help you get more sleep? And if that isn't possible, what kind of activities would get you energize and ready to participate?

Using sincere and authentic praise, moving around the classroom, realizing you might need to switch things up. Maybe during a group work/solo work you could do a very quick check in to assess if talking 1:1 is better.

Change up the activity to require movement or to inspire excitement. I know from similar experience of having a lack of sleep and needing to get through the day that movement helps.

I would ask Brian what would help him stay engaged. Some options I would offer would be that he can get up and stand in the back of the class or go for a drink of water when he feels himself falling asleep. I would also be open to his suggestions.

I would work with Brian to determine which modes of engagement are easier for him when he's tired, and which are more difficult– then build space into my lessons for him to engage in a way that feels feasible.

give students some time to move around, give clearer directions

Show concern. Discuss possible assistance in the form of scaffolding or provisional material to help him stay engaged.

2025-06-17 18:16:50 UTC

I'd try to understand what is happening and give Brian grace for his actions - but also to let him know that this is important and you can't sleep. I'd think if the behavior continues we'd need to have a meeting with us 2 and Brian's parents

Physical movement. both by educator and students

I would let Brian take a long break and rest and then offer that he get water. I would then check up on Brain to see how he is feeling and to check if he feels rested or needs anything else.

Having the students pair with another partner, everyone will have to be active participants. And also assure them while they're having this discussion, I'll be walking to each table if you have any questions.

I would tell Brian what I noticed in class the day before and ask what he would need to balance his work and summer school/class commitments. Offer him some options if he's not sure what he might need

2025-06-17 18:17:33 UTC

Giving students some time to get up or stretch to ease their mind.

2025-06-17 18:17:34 UTC

I would have students share their ideas through cold calling and then they do popcorn discussion so everyone is engaged

I would go over possible strategies for Brian to stay engaged during the day, and help work with him on creative a better schedule for himself to get enough sleep.

2025-06-17 18:17:39 UTC

Understand where Brian is coming from and ask if there is anything I can do to help Brian

2025-06-17 18:17:47 UTC

2025-06-17 18:18:53 UTC

Ask questions to the students and advise them that the first one who answers gets a price or extra credit. And also ask students for a brief explanation of the answer

circulation around the classroom get the class to be more engaging by asking a student to read then asking the class to respond to what the person read .

2025-06-17 18:20:13 UTC

Ask Brian how, why, where is he working. try to help with time management strategies

2025-06-17 18:20:16 UTC

What are ways he can get more sleep? Are there strategies he can use when he feels tired in class? Get a drink of water? leave the room? Try to participate in class?
