QUESTION 8 OF 30

Share about a difficult student you have worked with. What was the experience like?

Difficult students are a part of the teaching job description. But, what is more important is how you, as the teacher, sets the tone for the situation. Even though the student may bring about trouble, doing your best to change the situation into a positive should be the focus.

"A few years ago, I had a student that plagiarized on an essay. This was not the first time either. The first time, I gave the student a second chance, but warned him of his actions. The second time, he got an automatic zero and detention. We talked after and had a heart-to-heart. He shared that he wanted to be a businessman in the future. We talked about tangible ways to make this happen, and our relationship improved because of the intentionality."
