Process that I would like to use to identify and help a struggling student
Identify
Solicit information from students
This includes taking a baseline at the beginning of the course to identify potential risks. This can be done by having students fill out a survey or questionnaire listing things like study style and habits. There are already some questionnaire made for this purpose such as the
Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire.
Give students the chance to self-identify
I would include a bold section on my class syllabus where I let students know I will accommodate any disabilities and encourage them to self-identify. I always want to encourage my students to be their own advocates.
Look for signs that a student is struggling
There are many signs that a student may be struggling and will help to identify the student of need help. Here are some such signs that I would be scanning for often:
The student's reading or writing is below the grade level average
The student has test anxiety or performs poorly on standardized tests
The student does shows signs of addiction or psychological impairment
A student shows different behaviors such as acting out or withdrawing due to frustration with materials or assignments
Documented physical or learning disabilities
A change in performance
