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!)
I see the same thing in my 10th grade classroom, which shows that students of any level are capable of this, especially if any teacher in the past has "given in." Similar to the solution above, my students work in peer groups so they are not 100% dependent on me. However, I tell them they must "Ask 3, then Me" when they have a question. They can even move around to other groups (1 student of the 28 should be able to answer the question). If it gets to the point where they make it to me, I use several guiding questions and make them tell me what to do, as if it were a test. Usually, once they realize I won't give them the answer so easily, they would rather try it on their own. |

Comments: Yes; many solid strategies here that ultimately teach the student that the teacher can't be relied upon so heavily (to their own detriment). Thanks! |

Comments: I think this could be a useful technique to prevent students from using the teacher as a short cut, but I would be concerned of alienating students that really need that help. |
