  • Support a student’s need to work ahead.
  • Make the teacher’s presence known, supportive, and encouraging.
  • Encourage and build in consistent need and means for communication.
  • Respect the fact that older students are helping younger students or even taking on parental tasks in the home.
  • Acknowledge that students are completing assignments at any given time during a 24-hour time period.
  • Understand that discipline or a lack of discipline will reveal itself in student work; develop corrective and supportive measures for the student who lacks discipline.
