The good news is that most of the students I was working with, made progress!
Along with the fact that I haven't worked with these students for a term, there are some other factors that I believe had a negative impact on their learning.
- Poor school attendance
- Poor group attendance because of: sport, other events, 'forgetting' to come
- Group dynamics, including students with difficult behaviour and well developed work-avoidance strategies
The student who made 2 years progress was an English language learner who had a great attitude to learning, and came, on time, every day.
