Pick your battles with homework. If it's late, did they learn what they are supposed to learn? Is it to your expectation? On the flipside- know when to back off!

The intervention before the intervention. Very clear classroom expectations supported by thorough planning. Timing and consistency play a huge role during interventions. Students do not respect inconsistency and view it as being unfair. Stick to your expectations and have the necessary conversations at the right time when students fall astray.

Know your students' strengths, where they have difficulty, interests. Allow choice of assignments based on the above. Talk with your students...be creative with grades or maybe no grades until the end- contract with your student about their preferred grading system. Don't necessarily need a whole class grading system - can make it indivualized for students who may be motivated by that option.

Students receive a certain number of physical passes that they may use in the class. This makes them think about if they really need to use them because they get extra credit for the ones they didn't use at the end of the semester.

When students receive a low grade on a test, they are given opportunities to relearn the material and retake the test.  The two scores are averaged.

Found success with some of my students- especially when they go to the Kitchen Table every day.  Also a great help for students before a test.

Saying hello, good morning, or even good afternoon really gets the students to build a rapport with you. Even at times, comment how you noticed they were absent and hope everything is ok. Most students will respond positively and will sometimes notice when you don't greet them.

Students constantly want to ask for extra credit. One way to incorporate extra credit throughout the year, is to add in one question on each test for extra credit. Then students ALL have the ability to participate equally, and no additional non-curricular extra credit needs to be given?

Respect is key when confronted with negative behaviors in the classroom.  Always know that there is a story behind why a student is behaving the way they are.

We have found that calling parents has not been very effective. Since we have so many ways for families to find out grades, it's never a surprise.

The "teacher Stare" to refocus away from
negative behavior is still a staple in education.

Math seems to have a great number of students that come in and utilize this service.  The Math Department posts this service on the teacher Haiku pages as well as reminds students on a regular basis.  With the new scan system it makes it easier to track students that come in for help so that teachers  can confirm which students come in for help.

Additional tutor days would be very beneficial for students and teachers. Allowing students the opportunity to come in once a week will give students the ability to get more time with their teachers, as well as the opportunity to visit multiple classes opposed to rushing through multiple class in just one morning.

Tutor days every week would be one of the easiest interventions we could put in place for our students.

Specific needs can be addressed in a variety of ways. Sometimes what works for one may not work for all. Trial and error seems to be an approach that each of us utilize to connect, inspire, and motivate students towards learning.

*Assign a peer buddy in class: Have a student who is successful act as a mentor to a student who is struggling

*Have students set their own goals for class, and check in with that student at regular intervals to monitor progress

Along with our demerit system, we found that trying to get to the root of the problem works the best.  Having a conversation with our students and/or their parents, finding out why they are not doing well in class, behaviorally and academically,  and then coming up with a solution that works for both the teacher and the student.

Academic Intervention - homework flexibility

Some homework assignments in class are "optional" or can be "redone". Students are held accountable for the material on quizzes or tests.

e.g. reading study guides/reading quizzes, or online moodle assignments in science that can be taken several times until students have mastered the assignments.

If you know the student well enough and know you can joke with them, sarcasm can be a helpful tool to redirect the focus to class material.

Effective intervention for Honors students with anxiety

# data[].attributes.body
I have found that when working with a student with diagnosed anxiety, showing the student that you care about his/her issues and are not dismissive goes a long way. When a student knows you are "on their side" and trying to accommodate his/her needs, that helps. Giving an anxiety-prone student a test in segments so that he/she can tackle the hardest part first is an academic strategy that has helped mitigate student anxiety.

The teacher should create a classroom environment in which students feel comfortable opening up to the teacher.
The teacher should know when a situation requires parental and professional resources.
The process must start with the teacher developing a safe classroom environment.

1. What is a specific intervention, for academics or behavior, that did NOT work? Be honest.

2. What sort of worked, but with some tweaking, has potential to work better?

3. What definitely works? Why and how?
