I am currently in the 8th week fo a 15 weeks semester, and I was wondering exactly how I could intervene with (mostly) confused or unaware students. I can't see myself committing the time to so many (> 10) individual interventions. Do you think a group intervention could work ?
Hi François -- good question. Is this something where you could start with an email reminding students of a few key points? Then some students might be ready to pick up from there, and you could meet with the others.
Or if you judge it would be a good idea, you could try a group intervention. I've seen that make sense some times if you can find a time to meet with all of them (or set aside part of a class day). But I'd be a bit worried about privacy -- in a group setting, students won't be willing to share any personal issues that might be helpful in finding the right supports.
Thanks for your answer to my question. I could start with an email. I worry that their content would not be picked up by the confused or unaware kind of students.
I can, and therefore I will, allote class time to this. In this time, I will also invite students to privately share (face to face out of class or email) with me their personal issues. This way, I hope to reach everyone that need clarifications about their situation, and to provide individual intervention to those who really need it.
