I've learned every positive interaction, no matter how small, has an impact on students and their learning journey. I have daily goals that align with this subject, and I recommend you all make it part of your daily routine. Make it a point to interact with at least three students every day. Ask them how they are doing and if the answer is not ideal, do ask what you can do for them. Do NOT make it business only. Do try to find out something about them you did not know before, and next time you see those students you have interacted with, ask them about what they told you. e.g. How did it go in your interview? Or, Is your father doing better?
Once you take this as part of your daily work life, you will start noticing how they light up and be surprised at you remembering your conversation and following up on it.
