Get Your Students Hired
Because I teach at risk adult learners, they tend to have challenges staying engaged. Every week, I check the gradebook to see who has missing assignments. I reach out to the students via text to find out how they are doing. Once I get a response, I then talk about the missing assignments and opportunities to complete them.
Thanks,

I totally agree about text messages. I find that I ususally receive a response from a text, but I don't always get replies to emails or phone calls. I send emails for documentation, but I always follow it with a text message. Alison
Letitia,
Do you allow the students who are late with assignments to complete them for full marks or is there a penalty for late submissions? I think that reaching out to the students via text is a great idea and personalizes your concern. Great post, thanks, Janice
