The list for Priority learners has gone round again. It seems to be a blunt tool. Of the 8 or 9 students I teach on the list most of them are on there because they are doing so many externals that they haven't built up a lot of credits internally and so their counts are low.
Of the others I'm going to work two on one with the two who have not accrued any credits yet. It is difficult as they both have high absence rates compared to the rest of the class. I can work with that. What is really hard is neither of them will ask questions nor admit to not understanding when I ask them individually. If they cannot tell me what or where they are having trouble I struggle to effectively rectify their lack of understanding. Both students arrived into the class after the year started, so perhaps they have not integrated into the class culture as well as I would have hoped.
