barometer student

the barometer student wants to learn but doesn't get it yet.. in storyasking you are free to call this learner your best student..

There is often at least one student in the group who just doesn’t get it. The student who doesn’t get it but wants to is your "barometer". These students must be included in the class. Initially, they are hard to teach, and many TPRS teachers let them go in the midst of juggling all the other skills, but they hold a big key to your success!

When you work with your barometer, other students get a chance to rest and review. The barometer student makes you go slowly. That student is in fact a major factor in your slowing down.

In no way does the barometer impede the progress of the class. All students are generally happy with any extra repetitions they can get, and there is nothing like being able to include all your students in the flow of the class.
