Helping students with home work
Why should I do it:
Some students have more difficulty completing and remaining engaged with home work assignments and tasks, therefore, structuring homework assignments and gearing them toward these kids can increase success
When should I do it:
When a student(s) is not completing homework
When a student(s) is having difficulty completing homework
When a student(s) is completing homework incorrectly
How do I do it:
