How to manage slow-working students in your classroom — from blog.neolms.com by Diana Z
Excerpt:
If you have slow-working students in your classroom and want to help them catch up and reach milestones, you should first make sure to rule out any possible psychological barriers that could affect their processing speed or other cognitive issues.
Next, you should devise an intervention scheme that is structured on the three A’s principle:
- Accepting means that the students need to feel accepted in the learning environment and teachers can provide them a safe place for growth;
- Accommodating refers to the due diligence a teacher has to exercise to provide a suitable learning environment for all students;
- Advocating implies the support teachers offer slow-working students throughout their learning journey. It also involves other stakeholders, such as parents and the community, who can also support students.

This is an important topic, because not everyone can work with the (often) fast pace of the current train. One of our daughters has experienced this first hand, and I continue to learn from/through her experience.
