Assistant Teacher Attempts to Engage a Disengaged Student Mini Simulation
~60 minutes
This mini-simulation is designed for non-licensed staff or newer teachers looking to practice engaging a disengaged student. In this simulation, you assist in a fifth-grade classroom during a math lesson on fractions. The lead teacher, Ms. Johnson, explains adding fractions with different denominators. You notice that one of the students, Lily, is not paying attention. She is doodling in her notebook and not participating in the class activity.
