  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!)
It may help to truly analyze the situation. Is it a particular type of instruction he zones out during? If so, it may be more about his learning style or even hearing issues. Sometimes students will try to mask difficulties they are having by adopting a superior attitude.
