How to Prevent Student Failure

If a student is failing your class…

• Privately check in with the student to communicate that you care and that you want to understand why they are struggling

  • Are you struggling to understand the content? Do you need more time? Do you need me to re-explain or re-teach the concept? Is there anything else going on right now that is making it hard for you to learn?

• Call home and talk to family members about that you care and you are looking to partner with the family and the student to help students find academic success

  • Where has the student found academic success in the past? What subjects do they do well in? What motivates the student? What are they interested in?

• Connect with their study hall teacher and give them a heads up that the student may need more support, give them access to missing assignments, etc.

• Connect with the student’s counselor about the student’s progress, they can help find additional resources and supports for the student and investigate if there are larger issues that need to be addressed outside of the classroom.

How to prevent student failure…

• Get to know your students and make curricular connections to their real lives and experiences

• Pre-assess students so you know what skills they have already learned and which skills they need additional support

• Have clear scaffolded steps for larger products that include mini-due dates

  • Assess each part of the larger assignment as individual components/standards to be assessed

• Have students regularly evaluate their own progress

• Be clear and transparent about what you will be assessing (KUDOS/Standards Based Grading)

• Give daily formative assessments that are short, assess essentials skills, and require the student to turn them in on the spot

• Differentiate by process, product, and content

• Have students turn in work at the end of each class period (even if you need to pass it back out for students to finish the work)

• Adjust instruction when more than 25% of your students are failing. Take the time to re-teach and re-assess students who are falling behind. Give students who are on track, extension activities

• If a student misses an assessment, connect with their study hall teacher and/or have them take it in class ASAP during an EL period. If the student has not taken the assessment after a full week after the original assessment date, please contact family and let them know.
