Narrative:

It was the first officer's leg. I was on communication #2 with the company. I switched back to communication #1 and noticed the first officer was not going to make our crossing restr of 10000 ft. I advised ATC. They vectored us to the approach and no problems were encountered. My division of attention was part of the problem along with the first officer's lack of situational awareness.
