  Case: Catch Up
Does anyone have any suggestions for playing catch up? I have a student who is gone so often that it makes it difficult to catch them up so they can keep up with the content.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Since the student is frequently absent. I would have an absent folder loaded with the handouts and assignments that the student has missed. I would provide the student with a peer-assistant. This student could help teach the information to the student if they are struggling to understand the information and you are unavailable to teach the child. You could also offer to meet with the child before/after class to help teach them the information that they are missing.

Comments: I like this post because it includes a lot of ways to help catch the student up with the missed work. I also think assigning a volunteering student to assist with catching the student up is a terrific idea. It is also important to check with the student's parents or guardians to make sure they are aware that the student is consistently late or absent. Another great idea, which was mentioned previously, is to allow the students to review their missed work online.

Comments: I like the idea of having a absent folder for the student to pick up handouts and assignments that they missed on the day prior. The student would not feel disrespected through the proposed solution. Also the solution can easily be done by the teacher and implemented in the classroom.

Comments: I agree with this solution. Having a homework folder, with all handouts, work, and material (with notes attached for additional instructions/directions when needed or possible) is essential. I think it would be good idea to contact the parent and determine the reason for the missed absences, is it medical? or problem with transportation? In other words, find out if the absences are something you can help with to limit them or something that is known, like doctor appointments, and you can send work home in advance to aid in the student staying on task and level in school, preventing the student from falling more behind and lost when they are in class.
