Identifying Student Progress
Ensuring students continue to progress while learning in an online format is crucial. Keeping students engaged is one aspect, but it is also important to carefully track their submission of work. Students who struggle with turning in assignments, or accurately completing assignments, need to have immediate and on-going support. Try the following ideas:
Build relationships - this is always the most important component for online learning. Learn about their patterns for work submission and areas which may be difficult. Personally, reach out to families if you notice they have not engaged for a few days.
Carefully examine data - When face-to-face it may be easier to determine if students are engaged. In an online environment, teachers need to take look for different forms of data to determine if a student is progressing forward. Watch to see if students have responded to discussion boards, are turning in work, and are showing up to live lessons. If they are engaged and their grades are low, then there is probably a gap in the learning. A call or time to work one-on-one with the student is a good idea. Setting firm expectations that they are to respond to you, discussion boards, turn in work, and participate in live teaching.
