Case: Not Prepared?
When I was interning, there was a student in second grade who seemed to be in la la land for most of the day. He would wander around the classroom, draw on his desk, and was not prepared or pay attention in many of the lessons. When asked, he would not be able to tell you the last thing the teacher said. The student was the youngest in the class and his teachers felt that he just wasn't developmentally prepared to be in second grade. What can be done in this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would talk to the teacher about this and suggest that she have the student evaluated for an ESE program since it seems that the student is does not possess the skill level to be doing second grade work. You could also suggest the teacher talk to the parents of the student, since they do have the option to hold him back a year since he's younger than the rest of the students in his grade level. No parent ever wants to see their child held back but if he had the potential to be more successful this way, why not! |

Comments: This is good advice for someone who is interning. Since they are not the teacher, communicating with the teacher will be the best method. |

Comments: The first course of action would be to assess the students abilities and determine if he would benefit from additional resources or if there indeed was a developmental issue that was causative of his learning issues. Without background assessments, speaking to the parents uninformed will only cause a barrier. |

Comments: I don't think jumping to the conclusion of having him evaluated for an ESE program is the correct solution. If he is the youngest in the class, he is probably just not developmentally ready to be in the second grade. To me, it sounds as if he just needs to be held back a year. |

Comments: He may just need to be pulled for some extra help with reading or math or something. There are other methods than just putting a kid in an ESE program or "holding them back". Schools have things in place to help students get up to pace. |
