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!) I have a student like this. I found that working with this child one-on-one is a way to focus him. Find out what bothers this child, and what you can use for motivation. For me it was saying mommy would be so proud of you. I also remind him that mommy likes to hang up the work that he has completed at home.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: Just thinking what if he does not have a mommy or an involved family that does what you are telling the child ? I think that the solution could be more effective if you try harder to know the interests of the students in the classroom. Rated On: October 15, 2017 12:52 pm Rated By: yPeMug
