HSD Connected Tip of the Week: Show Me
|
 |
If students aren't doing their work or staying on task, it could be that they feel frustrated or embarrassed because they don't know where to start or what to do next. Show them how to do the work and coach them through it as they go. Also, consider providing the whole class with strategies for appropriately verbalizing what they don't understand and asking for help.

This link should be better, so please give it another try and pass this one along to your fellow alums! We appreciate your patience, understanding, and willingness to try again!
