Experience:

I believe in getting results, and I’m proud of the fact that my class has always scored above the school and state average in standardized testing. I make homework expectations clear at the beginning of the school year, and keep parents updated throughout about exactly where their children stand. I have posters on the wall explaining my discipline strategy and ask parents to sign that they have read it, and it has never been challenged.

Approach:

THE FIVE-STEP METHOD Step one: Always look at the problem in the book. Never trust that a student has set it up correctly. Step two: Ask student to explain the procedure s/he is using to solve the problem. You can troubleshoot and listen for erroneous logic or incorrect procedures at that time. Don’t accept the answer “I don’t have any idea.” Prompt for anything the student does know and build on that. Step three: Reinforce any correct procedures (e.g. "This part is done correctly", or "You are on target here".) Then identify incorrect logic and ask the student to consider what else s/he might try. You can provide a hint, but avoid explanations until after the student has attempted a guess. (e.g. "When you evaluate an integral, what do you evaluate first, the upper or lower part?") Step four: To check for understanding, have the student re-explain the procedure to you. Avoid asking questions Yes/No questions like, "Does that make sense to you?" and "Do you understand now?" Instead ask specific questions like “Why did we just do that? What comes next?” Step five: Disengage! Encourage the student to work the next problem on his/her own, but let him/her know you will check back. Do not get drawn into working the next problem with an insecure student. S/he needs to develop the ability to apply what she/he is learning without your supervision.
