  Case: Student needs additional help
One day during my internship I was asked to assist a student with an independent math assignment. This student is not on an IEP or a 504 but I think he really needs one. As he completed his work he needed subtle reminders to show his work, write a little neater, and to label. I would look at his answers and they were correct, they were just a little messy. I could see his wheels turning and I knew he knew what to do and how to do it, he just had a hard time putting it on paper. I would ask him to tell me how he got the answer, it was usually a great strategy and showed me he knew what he was doing so I would tell him to write that down to make it evident for grading. My CT said his score on this assignment was pretty high and did not match what he usually accomplishes. I think he needs additional help and guidance and should be on an IEP or 504 but I don't think any action is being taken to do this. This boy is smart but he is often thrown to the wayside because he is a small behavior problem. I hate witnessing this and I wish he was given a fair chance.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would talk to your CT and explain to her what you feel would be best for the student. Maybe even offer some one on one time with the student yourself if you are available.

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

Comments: I think talking to the teacher is the best approach. She/he has spent much more time with this student than the intern and has much more experience with his behaviors. Asking questions from a learning standpoint and informing the teacher of observations is a great approach and of course helping the student as much as possible to gain independence.

Comments: I think this is the best solution, being an advocate for the student and bringing up your concerns to the CT is a good way of making sure you both are on the same page and having your concerns expressed.
