Case: Too Cool for School
I have a student who was in a dual-enrollment college course for Economics. He was not passing the course so he dropped it midterm. He has been placed in my inclusion Economics course to make up for not receiving his Economics credit. The problem is he hates being in the class and feels he is too smart to be in there. His mother even told our school secretary this when signing him out last week. How can I make this student feel that he is not too good for the class without being offensive? I will say he is a very bright student and should be in my honors class, but his schedule had conflicts so he could not be in that class. I do not want this student to feel too good for and/or hate the class.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Instead of assigning an extra project, why not just have him do whatever your honors class is doing? If that's not possible, ask him to teach one of the lessons. Tell him the topic with plenty of notice and have him prepare his lesson. After you have approved it, let him have at it! |

Comments: Giving the student the chance to teach the lesson is a great way to get the student to recognize that you think he knows the material enough to be in charge of the lesson. It also lets them feel important and be recognized as a leader the others can turn to if they need help. Even allowing them to do the honors work lets them see that you have the faith in them to do the more challenging work. |

Comments: I think having the student teach a lesson is a great idea. It gets the student excited and motivated to teach the other students. I also like how you suggested giving the student work from you honors class to challenge him more. Great solution overall |

Comments: I like the idea of having the student teach the lesson, as it may give him a sense purpose and success.
Although, I would not want to hinder the others students’ motivation by making them feel that they are not adequate enough to teach a lesson.
Things have to be done equally. |

Comments: Great solution. If he was unable to make the class just because of time then incorporate the honors lessons for him. Give him their schedule and routine and maybe help to enhance his interest in the course to ensure he passes successfully this time. |
