Still, some students inevitably may find themselves behind at the end of the semester and need individualized Tier 2 interventions as a result of their procrastination.<\/p>\n<p>A Tier 2 strategy that teachers can use to support student efforts to pass classes during the end-of-the-semester scramble is the creation of individual PDSA (plan, do, study, act) cycles. A PDSA cycle is a process in which teachers and students work together to create a\u00a0plan\u00a0for improvement; implement, or\u00a0do, the plan;\u00a0study\u00a0if the plan\u2019s actions were successful; and\u00a0act\u00a0to create long-term improvement actions based on the results of the plan.<\/p>\n<p>In PDSA cycles, teachers work\u00a0with their students to create plans for success. These plans can be used either with a whole group or on an individual basis. Through working one-on-one with students this way, I\u2019ve seen large gains in student achievement and agency.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gettingsmart.com\/2024\/04\/08\/a-students-perspective-on-career-and-interview-readiness\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>A Student\u2019s Perspective on Career and Interview Readiness<\/strong><\/a> &#8212; from gettingsmart.com by Tyler Robert and Todd Smith<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key Points<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sharing experiences in real-world learning is an asset when interviewing for early career opportunities.<\/li>\n<li>Building confidence in not only being interviewed but also speaking about your skills in common language is a key part of creating effective pathways.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thebrokencopier.substack.com\/p\/try-asking-your-students-what-they\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Asking Students What They Would Do If They Were The Teacher<\/strong><\/a> &#8212; from thebrokencopier.substack.com by Marcus Luther<br \/>\n<em>one of my favorite practices we&#8217;ve normed in our classroom<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Though it had been a bit since our previous check-in, the major drop in how students were doing overall was staggering\u2014yet also very much tracked with the \u201cvibe\u201d of the classroom of late: students still feel pretty good about what we\u2019re doing,\u00a0but overall are exhausted and stressed, each in their own way but collectively as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">My plan on Monday, then?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">To share these results with the entire classroom followed by a simple question:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>\u201cIf you were the teacher and you saw this feedback, what would you think and, more importantly, what would you do?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">And then I\u2019ll listen to what they have to say.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>Reflecting back on my own classroom over the years, though, too often the\u00a0collecting\u00a0of the feedback became a dead end as far as how students experienced this: they gave their results and then those results disappeared into the digital ether, in their eyes.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meeting Students\u2019 Needs for Emotional Support &#8212; from edutopia.org by\u00a0Zi Jia Ng A new survey finds that a large percentage of students don\u2019t feel that they have an adult to turn to at school when they\u2019re troubled.
