3593. How Can I Help My Students that Failed? Some Ideas

 For teachers it is important to assess and evaluate their students’ learning, right? Also his or her own teaching, right? 

In the first case, how can we assist students who have to retake an exam and catch up on the materials they missed? 

Well, let me see. They are students in need of extra work, extra learning, extra studying. We could split the class up into two groups: special objectives – during the regular classes – for those who passed the exam but still can learn new things or deepen into what learned. And also objectives for those students who failed. 

Even the students who passed could help out their classmates by monitoring them. 

This is it: they could sit with their peers and teach them. 

And thus we have that some students are assisting their peers, and that counts as something very educative and formative: helping others. 

As well in that case we teachers might assign some extra grading to those students who have been helping their classmates. 

And the teacher could be circulating around the classroom to yield his or her help to their students. And all that with a lot of affection to their learners. 

Some ideas for this post were taken from a book I’m reading, by Spanish expert José Bernardo Carrasco. Have a nice day. Well also I would add up that the students could dedicate extra time at home by reading, learning and studying about those objectives they could develop, either for learning more or for reaching those objectives they missed.
