Here is a list of common personalities found in any classroom: uc, bold

3. Shy uc, italics Move paragraphs in numerical sequence and indent. Change to 2 columns

Shy students can be great from a behavioural viewpoint because they rarely cause
any problems. Actually, they can easily fall into the educators' 'blind spots' bold, u/line
and go unnoticed. That is why it is important to give these students some
attention, but be careful not to focus too much on them as this may cause more
withdrawal than previously experienced.
uc, italics
4. Mischievous Column 2

Mischievous students tend to cause problems or disruptions in the

classroom. They are normally the 'fun' students in the classroom, but
have to be properly managed to ensure they do not become a huge
disruption to the class. These students are commonly reffered to as class
clowns, and if sp handled properly, can provide a fun element to the class.

uc, bold
2. The boss

The boss student is the student who likes to answer every question and is
commonly found among younger learners, but not usually as students get
older. However, it does happen to older students from time to time. These
are the students who want to answer everything and are too eager to show
they know all the answers. They are very happy when allowed to answer,
but get very upset or sulk when that opportunity is given to someone else.
These students can be so strong that they will defy instructions to show they
know the answer such as standing up and writing on the board when asked
to sit down or blurting out
answers when asked to be quiet. Column 1

1. Unmotivated uc, bold

These students have no desire to learn or study. This can be a real challenge to
handle inside the classroom. Most of the time, the students are unmotivated
because they do not see the relevancy of what is being studied, are not
interested in the topics, or the material is far above their level. Regardless, the
educator needs to find some means to motivate these students and have them
learn.
