4. Shy students: Children may suffer from shyness which can affect their ability to work individually (such as being worried about being wrong), and get involved with the class as a whole or participate in group work. You can tackle this issue by attempting to establish a good rapport with the…
One common stereotype we have in the classrooms is directed toward the student that sits in the back. Educators assume that the student who sits in the front is there to learn with no distractions, yet the student that sits in the back will be a C student that flies under the radar. Sharing this assumption with students or stating the common, “If you sit in the back, you’ll be the C student,” is only going to make the student distance themselves from that class and that teacher. Usually, once a student sees that someone expects them to fail or do less than they had intended, it causes them to adopt the same idea. Communicating things to students that have trouble in class such as, “It will be less distracting to sit in the front,” or calling on students in all areas of the class and switching student’s seats after each term would be a more effective way to make sure your students are successful in the classroom, instead of writing them off at the beginning. Encouraging participation without first causing the student to feel uncomfortable or doubted would be a better route to amplify the student’s interest to learn and…
It has been proven (Petty G: 2009) that students’ that don’t look interested in studies or that have a “don’t care attitude” are more likely to do worse on their course that those that appear bright and willing to learn. This is partly due to our “first impressions” leading to the student being taught differently even though this may be subconscious. This is when it is important in your role as teacher to be the needs identifier and try to teach to the needs of the students’ as individuals and not to teach to the needs of the class as a whole when designing the learning and implementing it. Every student is an individual that has their own preferred learning styles one of the most common and widely used categorizations of the various types of learning styles…
As a returning adult, non-traditional student, something that I find imperative and under-discussed is the transitioning process in which fellow scholars experience. Non-traditional students face challenges that are unlike traditional students. Bridging the gap between one’s pre-existing life and that of enrolling in higher education can be difficult. Often this break may feel like a never-ending balance beam, each variable of life attempting to tip the scholar in many directions. Furthermore, proper time management should be established, and personal relationships maintained.…
Students are always focused on the teacher and always taking in the information being taught in the class. When I’m in a different class no student has their head down, texting, or day dreaming. Students are dedicated to school; they arrive on time everyday and they get ready for class to start. Students’ parents try to convince their son or daughter to stay home and sleep every once in a while, but the teenager disagrees and still goes to school.…

They back talk teachers, skip class, and get up and leave class. Some students don’t care about school and their grades, most of them don’t even do their homework and half the time they fail test/quizes. So they’ll probably be a decrease in grades, and maybe even an increases in absents. On the other hand there’s students who want to learn, get good grades, and they take the time to study for tests/quizes so they don’t fail. But they may be getting home later so they won’t have time to study or do homework, but if they study they’ll be going to bed late so in the morning they may be feeling tired and worn out.…

The choice of whether a student wants to learn is totally up to him or her. Some students do try to succeed in school and receive the education, while others just don't care about their future and their level of education. In every class, there are always the select few of students who are superior and do very well who achieve high grades. These students are usually the ones that participate in class, do their homework, and most importantly, those who try and give an effort. Oppositely, there are some who are at the end of the line who do very poorly, and do not try to succeed at all. They have just given up without even giving a pinch of effort. These students then usually complain that the teacher is being unfair and puts the blame on the teacher, when they have done nothing productive. But on the other hand, there are some factors that can affect this. There are students who do try in school, and yet still seem to be struggling. Some just have problems learning. They don't earn the highest marks in the class, but they are still giving an effort, which is important. There are some scenarios where some students who are just naturally intelligent. They can do…
Students, who tend to bad in a certain class, tend to have an attitude of not caring for that class. A situation like that can affect how the student is doing in is other class, especially the ones he/she is doing well in. The stress can have a toll on them, when your stress out who tend to care less, because you can have the feeling that they’re not going to get anywhere. Not caring is going to cause them to not want to put in the dedication and work that is going to be involved in improving themselves in the class their doing bad in. Habits of studying, listening and participation is developed when…
Teachers may expect students in this class to succeed better. They may treat these students better than students of a lower class.…
Personality is also another reason that students’ might not have good academic success. A personality is a person attitude or persona that they show to everyone around them. An example is, the more self-disciplined and cooperative students are, the more time they spend on homework and the more emotionally stable students are the less time they spend on homework. Or, if a student is depressed because of the events that have happened in their life, they may be too distracted by those events to focus on…
It is possible that every student that enters a classroom can succeed. However, in order for them to accomplish this, teaching should be student centered. Students should be encouraged to understand and appreciate their uniqueness and to be accountable for their learning and behavior.…
