Think of the readiness level of your students to be successful in the given task as part of a continuum. Readiness is fluid and will due to many variables. The readiness continuum ranges from a very high level (R4) where the student is able and willing or confident, to a very low level (R1) where the student is unable and unwilling or insecure.
Looking more closely at the readiness continuum:
Readiness Level 1 (R1) - Unable and unwilling, the student is unable and lacks commitment and motivation. Or, Unable and insecure, where the student is unable and lacks confidence.
The unable and unwilling indicators include:
- Defensive, argumentative, complaining behaviors
- Late completion of tasks
- Performance only to exact request
- Intense frustration
- Body language expressing discomfort: furrowed brow, shoulders lowered, leaning back
- Confused, unclear behavior
- Concern over possible outcomes
- Fear of failure
