  Case: Socially awkward student
A student has a difficult time working with others. This student is particularly socially awkward, and he mumbles continuously, so it's very difficult to understand him. He gets made if you ask him to repeat himself. He rolls his eyes and stomps around when put in any paired or group setting. He keeps his head down a majority of the class. He claims he's listening, but it's hard to keep him actively involved. How do you reach this student? How do you teach him to effectively and appropriately work with others?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would suggest getting more parties involved to try and discover if their is something deeper going on with the student. Contact the parents and express your concerns. It also would not hurt to talk to the school counselor to see if they have any information or suggestions you may not have thought of.
