Connecting With Students Who Appear to Be Vulnerable

Why Is It Important to Connect?

Personal connection is particularly important with any student who may be struggling with course content or your established behavioral expectations and/or who is experiencing stressors that are becoming overwhelming. It can also make all the difference with students who struggle with interpersonal relationships, self-regulation of their actions when feeling upset, and social problem solving. Students who struggle with interpersonal interactions are more vulnerable for feeling marginalized by their peers and others; look to proactively increase rapport building with these students. Related to this, having a connection with at least one caring adult has long been acknowledged as a major protective factor for children at risk for developing mental health challenges, including suicidal ideation. This is particularly important given increased depression and anxiety among young children and adolescents.
Teaching Tips: Teaching tips are listed in a two-column table, with the information in the right-hand column and a checkmark in the left-hand column.

You don’t know what is exacerbating this withdrawal, but your gut instinct tells you to explore ways to help Alex become more comfortable with interacting with classmates. After doing a little investigative work, you discover that Alex is interested in photography.
