t students may be impossible to determine simply by talking with the parents. Quite often you will find (especially in teenagers who are reluctant students) that the parents simply notice the same kinds of behaviors and there is also nothing they can do about it—they seem to be just as baffled as you. In this type of case, you must rely on other attempts to discover the problem and begin to develop It is incredibly difficult reaching out and really changing students who do not try, students who seem as if they do not care about learning. These are the students who cannot seem to keep their minds on the lessons in class. These students also cannot be taught on a one-on-one basis in class without bringing the rest of the class to a standstill and putting you behind in your curriculum.

Even outside of the classroom, in situations such as tutoring or homework assistance, these students are virtually impossible to instruct. After hours they either will not come to after school lessons or they show up but are not able to keep their minds on the class material. It is a brainstorm for you as a teacher, perhaps one of the most difficult tasks of being a teacher.

Because all children are different, you must be dedicated to finding out how you can best suit his or her specific needs. To find this out, you must understand the child more deeply, get closer to the child to discern where the problem stems from.

Do not be intimidated by the task. There really are ways to reach reluctant students:

For example:

· Know more about them:

If you can find out details from the parent(s) or guardian(s) as to what kinds of behavior the child displays at home, and perhaps get some suggestions from him or her or them as to how to best hold the inv child’s interest—great! Based on the information the parent(s) or guardian(s) can provide for you, you can begin to develop a plan for your own way of reaching reluctant students.

o How are his or her social skills?

§ If the child feels intimidated by the other students, perhaps this is why he or she is having trouble. Perhaps he or she is afraid of being made fun of by the other children, and therefore sort of hides in a shell and waits anxiously for the day to be over. Bullied children sometimes perform worse in class because of the low self-esteem derived from childish verbal abuse. Observe. See how many friends he or she has, determine whether that may be the cause—or if it is something else.

· Try to find materials that are interesting to him or her:

Sometimes the clue to understanding and reaching reluctant students is to find out what interests them. If this is the situation and it requires that you, as an instructor would have to alter the curriculum from which the other students are studying, this may be a decision that is not up to you, and therefore you may be prevented from trying it.

· Determine level of intelligence:

When reaching reluctant students is a hard task to face, try to remember that each student is different. In fact, just because he or she is a reluctant student does not mean that the child you are trying to reach is less intelligent, in fact, there are very many complications reaching reluctant students.

Perhaps the student is bored and uninvolved because he or she is simply too bright for the class he or she has been placed in, and there is no challenge for them. Or maybe the problem has nothing to do with fear of comprehension—perhaps the child simply needs to be moved up a
