- How do you respond to students who are not participating in class?
I would first reach out to the student through a PM or email (depending on our communication method as a class) to understand the reason behind their lack of participation. Some possible reasons could be technical issues, personal issues, lack of interest or motivation, or difficulty understanding the material. Once the reason is identified, I can offer support and resources that could help the student overcome the barrier to participation. If they are having acedemic issues, I might also recommend a tutor.
- How do you support students if they are demonstrating a skills deficit (student does not have the skills to complete the assignment)?
I would provide the student with extra support and resources such as additional reading materials, online tutorials, or video lectures. As said above, I'd also try to get them one-on-one help with a tutor, or with me as the teacher if possible. Ways I can help include providing constructive feedback on their work and suggesting ways they can improve.
- How do you support students if they are demonstrating a performance deficit (student has the skills to complete assignments but does not want to do the work)?
If the student has the ability to complete the assignment but lacks the motivation to do so, it is important to have a conversation with them to understand their reasons for the lack of motivation. I would try to encourage them to set achievable goals and show them how to break down the assignment into smaller, manageable tasks. I would also give them resources such as study strategies, or mental health resources if needed, as a lack of motivation can be an inclination of something else going on.
