Who’s Coming to Class Today? Strategies for Supporting Learners With Unpredictable Schedules

We encourage consistent attendance for learners because regular practice is an important part of learning a new skill. But we also need to acknowledge that there are legitimate reasons why a learner may not attend tutoring regularly or may join a class late into the term. 

In keeping with a trauma-informed approach, we’ll investigate ways to help create a welcoming learning environment for all your learners–  regardless of who shows up. We’ll discuss some of the reasons why learners struggle to keep a regular schedule and share some strategies for simultaneously managing new learners and an ever-shifting class list. We’ll also practice some activities that you can use in 1:1 tutoring or a small group class.
