Teaching Strategies

While teaching in Belize I have noticed that there are not many things done to help students that may have difficulty in class.  I see a lot of distracted students and the teachers seem to just let them sit there and not work.  In my 2A class I have seen this quite a bit.  In order to help this issue I have started to co-teach with my placement teacher.  I thought that this might keep the students focused since there is more than one person to listen to and the teacher that is not teaching can help students if they need it.  After doing this for three straight days I have noticed that the students are having a better time in class and are paying more attention.  This has also helped me out because it proves to be more fun for everyone in the class.
