Ashlee Fox's Guide to Identifying and Helping a Struggling Student
Signs of a struggling student
(Advanced Learners, 2009)
Has difficulty staying on task
Takes longer than normal to complete written work
Begins to argue with you over school work
Becomes anxious and stressed about homework
Becomes easily frustrated
Lacks self-motivation
Starts to leave books and assignments at school
Has difficulty following directions
Seems to work longer and harder with little or no improvement
Is no longer organized and forgets projects and tests dates
Turns in incomplete homework or none at all
Makes frequent and careless errors
Seems to have trouble with note-taking skills
Struggles with basic reading, writing, math, or spelling skills
Has difficulty remembering and does not retain learned skills
When 1 or more of these things occur we do early intervention where the student meets with the teacher and discusses the difficulties they are struggling with and what can be done to help the student more.
Phase 2
When there is no improvements being made despite efforts, communication and extra activities 1 on 1 with the student, a quick chat with the parents to check up on home life with a plan of action on additional activities to help the student might need to follow.
Additional suggestion

When 3 or more of these things are occuring we do early intervention and have regular meetings with parents to discuss if the student might be having troubles at home or if there are any other additional things there might be going on with the student to disrupt their learning. Discuss some additional steps that could be done with parents and at home activities that can help.
Phase 2

Survey Response:
"If the student is really struggling with classwork and is not actually doing anything that is meaningful or proper when it comes to what the assignment is suppose to be. The student doesn't engage with the classmates or the teacher and often times either sleeps in class or is focused on something that is completely irrelevant to coursework or the student is engaging in threatening behaviour that is very disruptive to the flow of the class and causes other students to isolate and reject the student almost entirely. Another one is if the student is engaging in self-harming behaviour that seems to be depressive and doesn't seem to be able to shake that depression off in any meaningful way."
