Ideas For Teaching Classes With Unpredictable Attendance

1.5 PD Hours

Although unpredictable attendance is common in adult ed, it can be more of a challenge for some teachers than others. For example, many classes have open enrollment, and most students are not required to attend class. Students with a wide variety of experience—testing at different levels—are often in one class. Some classes, such as those in correctional settings, regularly have students for only a short duration because of their unique circumstances. In this 90-minute workshop, we will share ideas for addressing the challenge of irregular attendance. These ideas were collected from actual teachers who have experience serving students who attend classes for a short duration or where attendance is unpredictable. During our time together, we'll also collect your thoughts, reactions, and ideas and share resources for support.
