Students are feeling neglected in your class. How can you ensure they get the attention they need?
When students feel overlooked, it's crucial to recalibrate your teaching approach to ensure inclusivity. To help every student feel attended to:
- Personalize interactions by learning about each student's interests and challenges.
- Implement regular check-ins to gauge understanding and emotional well-being.
- Encourage peer support systems that promote collaborative learning and shared responsibility.

Reach out to the last benchers or the student sitting in the corner, let no child feel neglected. Remember: a teacher can make or break a child. Establish a rapport; know your students personally Foster inclusive and supportive environment, where everyone gets opportunities. Let a few students not overshadow introverts. Incorporate group activities and collaborative projects, so that all interact and contribute. Cater for different learning styles. Avoid labelling and comparing your students. Use appropriate language to motivate and encourage them. Pay special attention to underachievers, so that they feel supported and confident.

To ensure they get the attention they need, you need to first ensure that you evaluate the performance of all of your students. This is so that you would know if they need extra help and attention or not. You need to then tailor the lessons to suit all of your students. This is so that each of them would be able to utilize the tailored lessons. You must also make sure that you conduct discussions with them. This is so that you would have the opportunity to listen to what problems they are facing in their lessons.

To ensure every student gets the attention they need and feels valued, I implement a balanced, inclusive approach: Rotate Focus Through Group Work: I structure activities that allow me to move between small groups, giving each student more personalized interaction. This helps me engage with everyone and provide targeted feedback during class time. Implement a Question-and-Answer System: I establish a clear system where students can ask questions or seek clarification. This includes using a question box, digital platforms, or designated Q&A times, ensuring everyone has an opportunity to voice their needs.

We as teachers have to be conscious and aware of the dynamics of the classroom and the student's behaviour in order not to let them feel neglected. I will regularly schedule one-on-one or small group meetings to check on students' progress and concerns so that I know and understand what each student is feeling and facing.

Ensure that the students have a direct, as well as whole-group, line of communication with you. That could be making space for 1:1 check-ins, though this may be logistically tricky, of course. In my own experience, inviting them to write a 'checking in' letter has been very instructive, and has better helped me to maintain rapport and understanding. This works especially well with those students who - by choice or otherwise - have less prominence and visibility within the group. Ask yourself which students you know the least about, and dedicate a little energy to finding a bit more about them.
