Describe a recent time when you’ve been discouraged with a student’s progress. Have you witnessed a change in the student’s life, or are you still waiting for that change to occur?
-
I have had student that was very disengaged in class due to their own personal interests. I witnessed a change when I played to the students strength’s and incorporated him in class in a greater way. This was very encouraging.
-
The student was transferred in and initially lacked motivation, but with reflection and support, he has now started making progress.
-
I have had many students unwilling to “try” because the subject matter was hard. One in particular did not begin to really try until he found success. By encouraging the small success, his confidence grew and he was willing to make an effort and apply himself in class.
-
Throughout my years of teaching, I have encountered moments of discouragement with students’ progress in academics and behavior. I have also witnessed these students grow and change in the years as well with the continuous hearing of the Word of God & showing God’s love to them.
-
I had a student that was unwilling to complete assignments (reading and writing). As I worked with the student and learned of their background I understood their circumstance. I began to teach with a different approach (loving, patience) and the student began to blossom and become less discouraged.
