I passed out progress reports to my students at the end of each period. After school, I had a visit from one of my most engaged students who was crying and very upset. Her current grade is an 89.45%, and she says that she has never before received a "B" in any class. What is my next step? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Calming the student down is the first step before you can talk with this students. Remind the student that is only one quarter and if there more quarters that her grade can come up. Providing a grade check list can help this student track her points and grades. Make sure that an extra credit assignment is provided for all students. This student prides herself on her grades and needs reassurance that a B is an above average grade.
