How do you get through to students that aren't understanding the material? What tools or methods do you use to help them understand the information better?
Be specific and discuss what steps you take or tools you use to help struggling students. Explain how these have led to success in the past. Talk about things like offering extra help after class, setting up projects that provide unique ways to learn, or setting up tutoring programs to help students better understand.
"One of the first things I do if a student isn't understanding the material is schedule time to talk with them one-on-one if they choose. I give them a chance to tell me what areas they feel most confused about and then work collaboratively with them. Together, we talk about ways they think might help them better understand the information, whether it is through different teaching methods, after-class study time, more visuals, or different ways of having information explained. I also schedule frequent check-ins with struggling students to give them the chance to ask questions and share areas they still need help in."
