Effective Classroom Management to Encourage Listening (and Regulate Blabbermouths)
by Robert Montenegro Everyone remembers the one kid in each classroom who loved to hear himself/herself talk (for the purpose of this example we'll call this person something random and totally not steeped in reality or based on a real person: Adrian Spencer). Simple questions like, "What does the green light represent in The Great Gatsby?" elicit Biden-esque adventures in digression and pedantry. Not only does Adrian Spencer make everyone around him miserable, but he's also not doing himself much of a service because of his inability to sit for five seconds and open his ears. As a teacher, it's important to nip folks like Adrian Spencer in the bud.

Five Great Teachers On What Makes A Great Teacher : NPR Ed
When we began our 50 Great Teachers series, we set out to find great teachers and tell their stories. But we'll also be exploring over the coming year questions about what it means for a teacher to be great, and how he or she gets that way.

Ghostbusters and at-issue-ness: The hidden rules of conversation
Still from Ghostbusters The video below shows a scene from the Halloween classic movie Ghostbusters, which helps set up the rivalry between childish parapsychologist Dr. Venkman and uptight bureaucrat Walter Peck. But it's also a great example of one of the hidden rules of conversation—and how utterly obnoxious it is when someone breaks them. Dr.

Class participation in the college classroom: How to get the most out of a course.
Illustration by Alex Eben Meyer For college students, October is when the excitement wears off and gives way to Nietzschean ressentiment. Don’t worry, this is human, all too human—your professor is probably not a sadist and you are not necessarily a slacker.

And one of these causes is the minefield of required (or at least expected) class participation. This is because in the seminar-style classroom, student engagement makes or breaks a course—and that’s precisely why it can go so awry.
