Study Tips
Here are two study tips from over 1,500 tips submitted by students and teachers
When I study for a test I try to mimic the test conditions. I keep everything quiet and don't take a break. I also study for the same amount of time I'll have for the test. This kind of conditions me for the test.

Watch for Boredom
Be alert for signs that your students are become bored. Examples of boredom are fidgeting, looking around the room, slumping in the seat, closing the book, and similar behaviors. Break into boredom by asking a question or making a surprise announcement.
Seat Students at Tables
I seat my students in groups of four or five at tables. This allows students to face each other and interact in positive ways. Students can work together in a cooperative manner. Also, it is easier for me to manage their behavior since I have to monitor several groups rather than twenty-five to thirty students.
