You Should Face Your Students
I know that sometimes you really can't, like when you're writing on the board, or circling the room. But do your best to face them more often than not. As you can see in my last picture in the previous post, I have an overhead projector. This allows me to see my students.
- Who is paying attention? Who is sleeping?
- Who is having a medical emergency?
- Who has their hand raised halfway through?
- Who is talking? Are they talking about notes or are they passing notes?
Facing the students allows you to answer these questions, and more. I've become somewhat adept to writing on the whiteboard while turned so I can talk to the students.
