In my experience, the biggest barrier to student success is chronic absences. Time in class is incredibly important--not only do the students learn the material, but they have time to work on assessments and get feedback. Many students feel overwhelmed after multiple absences and start to give up. This unfortunately leads to even more absences. Finally, like others have noted, most students lack the ability and/or desire to advocate for themselves and do the necessary work (check Google Classroom, email the teacher, come to office hours) to catch up.

Students are struggling to follow and understand directions. They read one part and run with it instead reading all the way through.

I agree with most of the posts about the struggles. I have a feeling that the 7th graders are just waiting for it all to be told to them rather then trying it themselves.

In math, I think a lot of students struggle with grit. Students just want to get the answer, whether they actually understand the mathematical concept. They almost don't want to put in the work or don't know how to.

I think this is also due to a lack of self-advocacy as well (like Kai mentioned). I see this a lot especailly when a student wants to patake in retakes of an assessment.

Students have trouble remembering what to do, and ask multiple times for directions, even when it's posted with examples.

Students struggle with academic vocabulary in the texts we read in class. They don't know how to figure out what the word means, use context clues.

I agree with what Kai said about the lack of self-advocacy, students getting started. Unless prompted, they struggle to begin the assignment.

Students also struggle with researching/finding reliable sources for a project/assignment on their own. Unless I post suggested links, they will choose the first thing that comes up on Google or just Google it in general.

Students lack the ability to hold instructions within their working memories. Listening the first time is a struggle. Having it also on the board after I have explained it and asked for questions does not seem to help. In history, students often struggle with pulling the important pieces out of the text.

There seems to be an inability or lack in self advocacy. Students tend to wait for the teacher / aide to come by and get them started or get clarification. They frequently won't even have the assignment pulled up or required materials out but wait for someone to come to them personally before they get started.

Often simply want to google (made more challenging since we do not have physical books for them to use) rather than take the time to read - they want the answer fast but with minimal energy expended

History: Lacks stamina when it comes to reading. In addition, if they can't find the answer instantly, then they stop looking or search for answers on Google.

Students lack the ability to understand the importance of the content/subject taught. If there isn't instant reward/understanding of any concepts they deem it unnecessary. The excessive access to "brainrot" online encourages them to be careless and dismiss educational material playfully and often disrespectfully.

In Spanish, some barriers include pronunciation (i.e. rolling the r, vowels, how H is silent, etc.), limited vocab retention for some students, the ability to effectively paraphrase on projects involving writing and researching on the Internet.

History and SLIM: Lacking stamina when it comes to reading. Struggle using context clues to decipher meaning of unknown words/concepts.

In history students lack the digital literacy to conduct quality research. In an era plagued with AI generated responses students are quick to accept the first thing regurgitated to them from a given search engine or generator.

In Spanish, students lack vocabulary and pronunciation both oral and written.

In history, they miss the link to current events - how do we connect what we are learning to our current lives
