Appropriate Leader Behavior for Readiness Level 3

Building on our discussion about the appropriate leader/teacher behavior for individual student readiness levels, today we are focusing on the students who display a higher readiness level (R3) but still need more input from the teacher.

Appropriate teacher behavior for students who are able but unwilling (R3):

• Share decision making with the student.
• Feed the student's "need to know."
• Focus on the results.
• Involve the student in the consequences of the task to increase commitment and motivation.

Appropriate teacher behavior for students who are able but insecure (R3):

• Combine teacher-student decision making.
• Teacher determines the next step.
• Encourage and support the student.
• Discuss apprehension with the student.
