Case: Needy Students
I currently teach 8th grade and my students are so very needy. They constantly ask the same exact questions and want me to give them the answer. They do not want to look for the information themselves. I can stand in front of the classroom and provide them with explanations for specific questions on a handout and as soon as I hand it out, they are asking me questions over the topics I just covered minutes ago. When I give students independent practice, they cannot do any of it on their own. They want me to hold their hand and walk them through each question even after I have already given them notes with all of the information in them. What can I do to encourage my students to be more independent?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
You can guide your students to a certain point then tell them this is as far as you will take them and that the rest is up them because you would like to see what kind of strategies they are using to support their answers. Also, iterate that they will soon be high-school students and teachers there do walk them through the entire process if at all. Let them know its time to transition into independent learners from dependent learners. |

| Comments: I would not just say "this is as far as I can go, it's all up to you now Sinbad." This is their first time being vulnerable to this material. I would provide guidance and see if they could do it up to a certain point, or see where they get lost. Have them make an effort, but if they don't know what to do help them take the next step, give examples, and reteach if necessary. |
