For example, if a student goes directly to an assignment, instead of first watching an instructional video or reading the assigned material, they could be missing valuable instruction, or become frustrated quickly and give up on the assignment.
Encourage your student to spend time each day on each class. This may consist of emailing the teacher for additional guidance, setting up a Google Meet for face-to-face instruction or reviewing the previous material for maximum retention.
Even if assignments are not due for a few days, students need to have focused time on each class to ensure they are getting proper exposure to the instructional material.
Have you read the directions? If they have read the directions, you may have them summarize the directions in their own words.
If there was a video shared from the teacher, ask them if they have watched the video. If they have watched the video, ask them to re-watch the video and take notes. Oftentimes, taking notes helps us solidify concepts or instructions.
Ask your student if they are attending these Google Meets.
Encourage your student to make a list of questions they have to ask during the Google Meet. Preparation is key.
Ask your student if they are communicating with their teachers regularly. In a normal classroom setting, the average student will communicate with their instructors numerous times within the hour. Without this communication, students are more susceptible to falling behind or misunderstanding instructions.
Encourage your student to make a list of questions they have to ask during these sessions.
