Home | How It Works | Stats Login | Register         Case: The Clingy Student You are a first grade teacher and have a student that is always seeking your attention. She always asks for help although you believe she is in no need of it. She also constantly requests for you to look over her work to make sure she is doing it correctly. This is keeping you from assisting other students. How do you handle the situation? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would speak with the parent and determine if this is a routine thing for her. Does it happen at home also? Perhaps having the parent involved with some work at home, where they would get undivided attention during the assignment. Additionally, praise the student for independent work. Provide her with incentives to work without you hovering over her. Additionally, cooperative learning could be helpful in this situation. Perhaps she just needs someone, not only you, to agree with her. Having her talk it out with her classmates may deter her from distracting you.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Cooperative learning could definitely be a great solution!
