Case: Motivation Issue, Attention Deficit, or Something Else?
Last year I had a 7th grade ELL student who struggled to pass my language arts class. He would sometimes fall asleep in class, gaze off into space, struggle with task initiation and meeting deadlines, and simply keeping pace with other students. He was not disrespectful at all, but he appeared to want to be anywhere else but class. Since he had been living in the US for 3 years and conversationally seemed to understand my conversations, I assumed something other than language was at play. First, was I correct in this assumption? Second, what do you think was going on with this student? Finally, what could I have done to improve his overall achievement in my class?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
It's hard to say whether or not your assumptions were right without really knowing the student myself. As far as improving his achievement... Maybe giving him some kind of reward to work towards for improving grades and effort. I know in the younger grades, behavior charts tend to work well. In my class we use a sticker chart. When it is full, they get to go to the treat box. In his case, maybe he would get his favorite candy bar. |
