How do I handle a student who is consistently late to class?
2 minutes ago
Dealing with chronically late students requires a balanced approach combining understanding and structure. Here are evidence-based strategies: **1. Investigate Root Causes** - Have a private conversation with the student - Check if there are transportation, family, or health issues - Review their schedule for potential conflicts **2. Implement Positive Reinforcement** - Acknowledge when they arrive on time - Set small, achievable goals (e.g., 'arrive within 5 minutes of start time') - Consider incentives like preferred seating or small privileges **3. Establish Clear Expectations** - Create a classroom routine that starts immediately - Make the first few minutes valuable and engaging - Use consistent, calm consequences for tardiness **4. Collaborate with Parents** - Share the pattern with parents/guardians - Work together on morning routines - Ensure they understand the impact on learning Would you like me to help you draft a communication plan for parents or create a behavior modification chart?
