How can you address student performance issues with limited resources?

Surely in education they are already aligned! All stakeholders have a focus on the best education possible for each student. Perhaps the key is to ensure everyone releases that this is the case.

I found project-based learning to be very effective in motivating students with real-world situations. I would create a rubric that defined the goals and expectations. Upon completion, students would grade themselves with the scale given in the rubric. I would also grade them using the rubric scale. Most students would underestimate their scores. In any rate, if our scores did not compare within 10%, I would schedule a meeting with the student to discuss the score discrepancies and arrive at an agreed-upon score.

Our goals should be aligned with the institution's vision and goals. Educators should be provided the tools, and training to adequately support every student. Only then will they able to effectively set the overarching goals, and a myriad of learning goals for each student based on performance. These individual goals should be clearly defined and articulated with each student, so they can work towards achieving success. Students should be guided and given the responsibility of "owning their learning." It is also important to involve the parents, and all stakeholder in what could easily become shared goals.

Student performance issues can be challenging to address, especially when resources are limited. However, there are some strategies that educators can use to help their students achieve better outcomes. - Providing timely and constructive feedback to students on their work and progress. - Differentiating instruction and assessment to meet the diverse needs and abilities of students. - Encouraging student engagement and participation in class activities and discussions. - Fostering a positive and supportive learning environment that promotes collaboration and respect. - Seeking professional development opportunities and peer support to improve teaching practices and skills.

I agree. We tend to become so complacent that we've set up a good system that we feel uncomfortable constantly questioning the validity of our basic assumptions. The world is changing at an insanely fast pace which means that our goals, aims, student needs, and how students communicate with education all change. We must not get anchored to our aging perspectives and expect younger generations to "fit in". We are the bridge facilitating the students' development to succeed in the world they will inherit however much we might disagree with current trends or likely future outcomes. So we must adapt to influence what is rather than fail students because of what we want it to be.

Teachers are the number one influence on students. The difference a caring and interested teacher will make in a young person is far bigger than any technology. When students have a champion for them, they become motivated to do well and show their champion teacher what they can do. The champion teacher should be listened to by middle leadership as to what is best for the progress of the child.

The advancement of technology, particularly in AI and analytics, offers significant support to faculty members. Integrating an AI system capable of monitoring student progress across various assessments and courses can be immensely beneficial. Such a system would provide constructive feedback, alerts, advice, and suggest resources, all tailored to each student's needs. It would also compile this information, making it readily available to faculty for review and consideration. This integration would be a valuable tool in enhancing educational support and outcomes.

In my experience I find it important to support my team because they are the ones supporting the students. This starts with aligning our goals. What do they want to achieve, what do I want to achieve, and what do students want to achieve? I want the team to feel confident in their decisions so I want to make sure I make time for them and show them that I am there to listen. Often, we just need someone to hear our ideas and say yes.

I believe that Teachers are the real game changers in any situation. They have the real assessment of needs . If they are inspired and empowered with decision making , owning the institution and sharing their opinions.Being motivated and committed teachers a tailored solution could be developed to meet our common goal and vision. Collaborations among teachers could create an ocean of resources. An empowered teacher doesn't limit the endeavour to the resources available at work. They own the responsibility to create and innovate the ideas to beat the helplessness of limited resources.

I think the key to enhancing students’ performance is continuous professional development of teachers. If the school has limited resources the head teacher and the deputy head teacher/ SLT must deliver a rigorous training programme to enhance the teaching for effective learning in school. It is also good to look out for resources who are willing to provide support and training at a nominal cost and outsource people for this purpose.

I think that actively engaging your students outside of the classroom is equally as important as within the classroom. Purposeful co-curricular and extra-curricular activities can enhance the educational experience. Engagement outside the classroom allows students to interact and learn from other students who may not be in the same classes. These activities can create opportunities for students to grow as leaders and facilitators.

In my experience, prioritizing early intervention is key to addressing student issues promptly. Faculty members should be equipped to identify students likely to face difficulties at an early stage and offer necessary support. Regular meetings among faculty teaching the same group of students are crucial for discussing student progress and sharing strategies to assist those in need. The more time a student spends without support, the harder it becomes to tackle their issues effectively.

'Nobody cares how much you know until they know how much you care'. Get to know your students, engage with them, talk and listen and pay attention, and if you don't genuine care for improving their outcomes, regardless of what they may be, then you've missed the mark.

In some countries/regions, high schools are able to offer students 'elective' units. Students choose these units based on what they believe will be interesting and relevant therefore increasing the likelihood of engagement. As these units operate outside the documented curriculum, teachers can be more flexible in the content and the pedagogical approach. As a former head of a mathematics department we offered a 'mathematics' elective. Within four years the number of students studying mathematics at the highest level had more than tripled and students results improved. Sometimes curriculum gets in the way of learning!

Having been involved in online learning for a number of years, I think one of the most important ways of engaging the students is by the faculty being engaged themselves. Too many times I've seen and heard faculty approach their online class with the "set-it-forget-it" philosophy - Build the course and use it like a correspondence course. Whether you are in a physical/traditional classroom or online, if the faculty engages with the students, everyone is better for it. We often hear students describe their favorite faculty in those terms, "when I needed direction, Professor X was there", or "I loved that class because the teacher made it come alive for me. They were so invested." If you want engaged students, be engaged yourself.

Try to communicate and connect with globally, Now things have changed and people do their best with collaboration. Everyone can expand their network access to new opportunities and create a novel approach for the nation.

Community engagement holds huge value for the children - being part of whole community events increases sense of belonging, self-worth and confidence.

To quote my experience of running a training company that prepares undergrads and graduates for global test prep courses , my community and extended communities that foster my growth include colleges , high schools, parents , tutors , counsellors , professional bodies & employers. I look at each of these as a community and how we can foster relationships within each. So think of your larger community as a combination of several micro communities & work towards building with each Each micro community will offer relationships , resources & add emmence value to business backwards and forwards.

Convivo com um olhar mais voltado ao Terceiro Setor (programas de voluntariado) e sou defensor adepto dessa forma de vê o mundo. Para destacar uma comunidade escolar (todos os agentes e stakeholders envolvidos no processo de ensino aprendizagem), fundamental engajar o trabalho social como forma complementar de exercer a educa??o na prática. Unir a educa??o ao contato com organiza??es n?o governamentais ou OSC’s, tem sido a melhor maneira de formar uma comunidade escolar sólida.

As I respect and admire your response, I think the question is very inconsiderate and a direct slap in the face. Here’s why- in what is believed to be the place where you can attain the “American Dream” , it saddens me to know that we are trying to do more with less when we are the richest country in the world. There is no reason why any student should lack the resources they need to become success stories. Inasmuch as poverty plagues some of our neighborhoods and communities with limited tax bases, local monies, etc., the federal sector picks up ensuring these economically disadvantaged students are supported. Perhaps, the question should center around equity to somehow close the many gaps in academia.

Often seen as untrustworthy or a bother, many, from the faculty to their leadership, have ignored the end-of-term course evaluation. However, when examined over time, the data will begin to tell a story that should not be ignored. Faculty, take some time to summarize course evaluations over time. You'll see patterns emerge that will point to areas to improve. Administrators and deans, take some time to study the course evaluations. Look at them collected into a single file per course. Again, patterns will emerge. True, no one single evaluation is to be trusted. But, if years of data confirm, it could be that there is an issue, which could be easily remedied. Use the evaluations and make them work for you and your faculty.

Instead of waiting for end of unit tests and grades, if teachers have a voice - and are engaged in setting goals based on changes they want to see in their students - there is an incredible power in utilising video reflections to support ongoing evaluation/celebration of progress for students and teachers. Alongside other intentional and sustainable data, video helps show progress, support induction, and bring to life powerful examples of progress and performance.

-Set project on research topic. Students can find all related information on the internet. -Guide them with suggested websites, I bet they came out with extra. -provide marking criteria or rubrics to assessment on projects. -individual mark +group mark=total mark -Set time frame for completing task.

Nessa perspectiva, destaco a importancia de uma reflex?o aprofundada sobre as estratégias de avalia??o. Embora as provas sejam comumente adotadas como principal meio avaliativo, diversificar as abordagens, como a incorpora??o de rubricas e elementos da aprendizagem visível, amplia nossa vis?o, oferecendo uma compreens?o mais rica e abrangente das competências e habilidades dos alunos. Essa variedade de métodos permite uma avalia??o mais justa e precisa, considerando a heterogeneidade presente na sala de aula, promovendo assim um ambiente de aprendizado mais inclusivo e eficaz.

Identifying the levers that showcase progress and powering them with adequate data , records and demonstrations is what helps one conclude ! Also data on key levers such as attendance , test scores , quality of research , attentiveness , engagements etc becomes a source to begin productive conversations with students and parents.

Also vital to examine what the barriers to learning are and what strengths the student already has that will empower them to break them down, with tightly focused and targeted support. Knowing exactly where they are with some strong AFL tools will help both student and teacher/coach/assessor to move forward in a strategic way, filling the right knowledge gaps in an appropriate manner.

I strongly advocate for continuous data collection as the cornerstone for improving student performance. To put this belief into action, I introduced a robust skills analysis system in my department. This system effectively identified potential concerns, allowing teachers to promptly address issues and strategically pinpoint learning gaps for more targeted interventions.

In my experience, I have seen that students' behavior impacts his/ her learning. It is important to understand each student and be able to detect when something is affecting their classroom engagement and learning. Relationships have to be forged with playground supervisors, parents, friends etc. to forewarn the teacher about any issues that could linger. There must be positive and rewarding programs within the classroom and the schools to help promote a nurturing, safe, and conducive learning environment.

Here are actions that cost NOTHING: 1. Classrooms with high expectations, routines taught-modeled-reinforced , and well paced. 2. Active, engaged classrooms that are highly interactive. 3. Frequent assessments, such as quizzes and tests, that guide instruction. 4. Using metacognitive strategies every day. 5. Set goals together and individually. Using evidence-based practices cost nothing!

Addressing student performance issues with limited resources involves targeted strategies. Prioritize personalized feedback, leverage free or low-cost educational tools, and encourage peer-to-peer learning. Create a supportive environment, promote effective study habits, and consider flexible learning formats. Utilize open educational resources and collaborate with community resources to supplement learning opportunities. Tailor interventions based on individual student needs to maximize impact with limited resources.
