  Case: Genuis!
I have one student who feels as though he is so far ahead of us that he doesn't need to pay attention. While he is very smart, he has not been exposed to all of the content I am presenting. He doesn't pay attention and thus does poorly on assessments. When he receives small group remediation he does fine. How can I get him to pay attention the FIRST time?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would have this student help with the instruction. It will keep him focused and show him that he has more to learn without having a negative impact on his confidence.

Comments: Geniuses can be proud people, and if dethroned in front of other students they may try to regain their honor. Directly involving them will encourage them to pay attention and may show them they don't know all that they think they do.
