Challenging Learners<br />
Lead a 5- to 10-minute discussion on challenging learners<br />
Some typical challenging learners:<br />
• Unprepared student<br />
• Anxious student<br />
• Dominating student<br />
• Bored student<br />
Some general strategies for addressing challenging learners:<br />
• Acknowledge the learner and then redirect:<br />
“Thanks for contributing, Student. Now, let’s talk about…”<br />
• Use neutral criticism, focused on the work rather than on the person:<br />
“Compressions should be at least 100/min” vs “You’re not going fast enough”<br />
• When you can, acknowledge what the student is doing well/right before introducing a criticism<br />
Some good general strategies for leading discussions:<br />
• Asking probing or open-ended questions<br />
• Listening to students and building on their comments<br />
• Clarifying student comments<br />
• Paraphrasing student comments<br />
• Encouraging quieter members to participate (“Let’s hear from someone who hasn’t spoken yet”)<br />
