Lessons Learned Variation in student participation and
motivation.
Providing resources is sometimes not
enough.
One-on-one sessions are a must.
Asking students to explain actions or
behavior provides information that can guide
individual learning plan.
Most successful students are those whose
goals are in line with those of the program.

Instructional Practices
Limit the amount of time I speak in the
classroom.
What do I have to offer that students
cannot get on the internet?
Set-up a system by which students can
provide feedback on a regular basis.
