Do you have a struggling student? Do they need special education support?…

- - - - Differentiated Instruction
        The teacher can differentiate content, process, or product to create a dynamic classroom environment that learners of all types and at all stages can flourish in.

        Product
        Activities designed to ensure students use key skills (JigSaw Method, color-coded stations, deliberate groupings based on observations and other data, mandated activities project).
        
        Product
        Vehicles used for students to demonstrate and extend what they have learned.
        Formative/summative
        providing prompts or cues,
        word banks,
        choices,
        Rubrics
        Peer assessment
        
        Content
        Content should be relevant, personal, and authentic (text sets, interdisciplinary, choice, gender and age considerations).
      - Talk to the other teachers of the student to make them aware of struggling students.
        You might have a common worry or you can collaborate with a teaching method to support the student.
        
        After a few weeks of differentiated classes and armed with a record of progress and behavior, approach the school special education department or the head of faculty.
        
        With school support you can invite the parents for a conference without the student present. If other teachers have similar concerns for that student, invite them too.
