The student refuses all academic assignments but has no behavior issues in the self contained classroom. How can Mrs. H develop a portfolio of assignments for possible assessment data when the student refuses all efforts? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I think getting to know this student on a personal level, and trying to find out what they love to do outside of the classroom is a great start to understanding why they are doing this. Try different ways of communicating with this student. These students may enjoy a different setting in doing these assignments. Try computer work, or even work on the iPad.
