Taking people from where they are coming form academically
I feel it is important to support students in the math curriculum by providing help and feedback no matter where they are at. For example, if they are a few sections behind the rest of the class, do not make them feel bad for that....just help them where they are at and encourage them to get a bit more done to catch up.

Hi Gilbert,
What are some methods you use to learn more about the concerns of your students?
Thanks.
Gary
understand their concerns
Scott:
I agree that it can be challenging to work with students who have gotten behind in class.
I think it is important to understand that they have jobs, kids, and many other life situations that traditional students do not have. Make them feel good about getting things caught up and then the carrot will be that they can really understand every lesson in context.
