focusing on student learning

What is the best way to keep the student focused, when they are having a bad day?

It really depends on the student. Sometimes students want to vent about something other times it could be a family/work/relationship issue.

I've had some students who were all over the board. Usually though they really apperciate being heard.

Hi Dennis,
Use small group activities or case studies to get the students focused on using their knowledge to solve problems. This helps to move them off of their situation and toward thinking about other solutions to the presented situations.
