Case: Refusing to do anything
A classroom situation I had was a freshman student who absolutely refused to do anything he did not want to do. The frustrating part was not that he would not participate but that his teachers allowed it to happen because it was better that he was at school than at his home. It was frustrating because (1) the student was not learning and (2) the student obviously had a horrible homelife. What can I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
As a preservice teacher, we have an opportunity to work with students at different times during the day, especially if the primary teacher is instructing or working with other students. There are multiple ways in which we could work with the student to get them to do some type of activity or assignment. It must first be established why the student is refusing to do the work at all. Is there a communication barrier? Is there an emotional burden that the student is carrying because of issues he is having with his home life that is keeping him from being able to concentrate in school? Does he get physical when asked to do things which keeps teachers from bothering with him at all? Once you have established the possible problem, you can implement a plan to help the student break his refusal and start to work. If you have figured out that there is truly some type of significant problem that is going on at home, you can refer him to the school counselor so that they can see if the issue needs to be investigated further with professionals and law officials. If not, the counselor can take what information they have gathered and help you as the teacher devise ways to interest the student into working while in class. You can then come up assignments that meet the students needs, work with him one on one, create a rewards system for doing the work and also consequences if he continues to not do work or fails to participate. |
