Case: Motivation
I have a student who has failed every class so far this year, and is currently failing every class he is taking. I have tried to help this student in my classroom, and have even reached out to one of our administrators who works with students like him. She spoke to him for a long time and his mother, and supposedly he was going to start doing better. He was going to attend Saturday School and make up work before the end of the nine-weeks. That didn't happen. He continues to refuse to work in the classroom and won't take any help I offer him. He would rather create conflicts with other students and disruptions with his behavior. How can we try to motivate this student?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Could you develop a student interest inventory/survey to see what he is interested in? I have had several high school students like this (and still do), and I have found that once I have figured out their interests, I create assignments that suit their interests. From there, you need to set a goal. Is this student interested in joining the military? Perhaps the school counselor could set up a one-on-one session with a recruiter. Recruiters often have prospective recruits do fitness training on the weekend. The recruiter can help you set goals for the student in order to participate in the fitness training. The above scenario could also be replicated within a work program. |

| Comments: I agree that it would be a good step to first see what things the student is interested in, from there you can also create rewards for work completed based on his interest. |
