  Case: Re-teaching
The teacher has just given Maeve her score on the last quiz she took. She notices that she missed both items on soil salinization. Also, the teacher wrote on her paper, "Maeve, you seem to be confused about this." What should the teacher do to help her understand the concept?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Maeve is obviously confused about soil salinization, so writing it on her paper does nothing to help. The teacher should give individual guidance and ask Maeve to possibly stay for tutoring. She should ask Maeve to tell her everything she knows about soil salinization so that she can determine where Maeve is getting it wrong. Then the teacher should demonstrate and give examples of exemplar work samples so that Maeve has a clear understanding of what is expected of her. Finally, the teacher should give Maeve the same or similar items that were on the quiz, and see if she improves. The teacher could also pair Maeve with a student that got the 2 items right on the quiz and let them work through the items together to see where Maeve went wrong. The teacher could then give feedback and pinpoint the mistakes that Maeve is making.

Comments: I totally agree that just writing on the paper that the student is confused does not help, I remember when that would happen to me and all it did was made me angry.
