Case: Unmotivated Student
I have a student who refuses to take any type of assessment seriously, not to mention his lack of effort in the classroom daily. I have called home several times, he has seen the counselor, he has a BIP, but he still will not take a test seriously. He bubbles in answers or circles them and then lays his head down. No amount of prodding, bribing, encouragement has helped yet. What haven't I tried that might help? How do I motivate him?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
To help this student take assessments more seriously, I would try giving him the assessment orally. Have him simply talk to you about the answers. Having class incentives may help, too. For example, everyone who scores a B or above can have five extra minutes of Friday Free time. If he sees his peers reaping the benefits of their hard work it may motivate him. |

Comments: I like the approach you took to this solution. I think trying a different type of assessment is a good way to see if that works any better for the student, as maybe it is the form of the assessment causing the issue. |
