  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 work with this students more. I would try to work with him more one on one when I am there and collect data on him. I would collect his scores on things when you are helping him and when you are not there. Once I feel as though I have sufficient data, I would bring it to my CT and have a conversation about getting this student on either an IEP or 504. If the CT still does not see it, then I would bring it to his other teachers or to guidance. This way someone else could come in and evaluate this student.

Comments: I think this is the best course of action because it allows you to learn more and speak with the CT before making any decisions that could disrespect them.
