Intervention for priority students:

It is now week 7 of Term 2 and I have been working with some of my students needing support to help them achieve more. Amongst the students I am working with is one of my "targeted" priority students.

Although all students are priorities, we have to focus on two students who are not achieving in our classes and provide the support they need to achieve.

My two targeted students are from my year 11 Maths. One of them has been away from school, and am hoping he will be back soon. The other priority student is working well, I am regularly checking with him and spending more time explaining work to him on a one to one basis.

I have found that using questionings have been a very good tool in stimulating his mathematical thinking and getting him to explain what he sees and what it means. This has also been useful means of checking if he has understood the work.

Supporting my priority student this way has enabled him to get a better understanding of the work which allowed him to successfully complete his assessment.
