Build student confidence
Build student confidence
Discuss with students what will support their participation and motivation.
Build these suggestions into your teaching practice.
- Ask your student what helps them to learn (for example, text-to-speech or quiet spaces) and build their suggestions into your planning.
- Use your knowledge of the student’s interests, strengths and culture to create opportunities for them to take the lead.
- Identify classroom situations (jokes, verbal instructions given from a distance) that may exclude some students. Provide alternative access or information.
- Recognise avoidance strategies and provide support and encouragement.
- Give ongoing prompts and positive feedback, and provide strategies that help students when they get stuck.
- Create a class culture where students support each other.
