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!)
It might be helpful for students to have a reference checklist while they are beginning to work independently. Having a list of options to refer to before they talk to others and you for help. By having a checklist, you are providing them a visual way to problem solve as well as building their exposure to ways to problem solve. I am envisioning math homework from your example. So their checklist might include referring to pages 10-15 for topic 5 help, look at number 1 for step-by-step instructions; look at note pages 2 and 3; go to this website and type in the math problem you are working on; etc. Providing them with a list of options to choose from so they can go through all the steps for themselves could potentially help. That way if they have come to you, you could say, "have you done number one on your checklist?" If they have gone through everything and nothing has helped, then it is time for your support. |
