T O P I C :
Not Able, or Unwilling
Anthony Poses the Question....
September 13, 2007
Today I was asked to help with the "guided study" program at our school. While I was more than happy to participate, I am not sure that the two boys I was working with really learned anything. Both of them listened to me and responded well when I had to address their behavior; however, by the end of the hour they were still not able, or just unwilling, to answer my questions about the factoring we just executed. I have little experience dealing with at risk students. Does anyone have any tips as to how I can reach these boys on an educational level?
