Helping Struggling Students
Consistency- The teacher requires the same performance from the student every day. The teacher doe not lower expectations, but rather modifies them to tailor towrads the needs of the individual student.
Differentiate learning material/supplementals- Using the same concept of differentiated instruction, the teacher provides the struggling student with learning materials that utilizes the students unique set of skill, while also maintaining academic rigor.
Multi-Sensory Instruction- Using this strategy, the teacher utilizes all of the students senses to ensure knowledge retention. Using this method caters to all learning styles, and manner of knowing
