  Case: Belonging
I have a new student who has just transferred to self-contained from general ed. He is unhappy and feels this work is for babies, even though he is not do well with it. How do I involve him when he is upset to be working beside a student with visible disabilities?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think that if you give the student opportunities to work with the other kids in the class, he will see that he can learn from the other kids. If the student isn't doing well with the work, you should pull the student aside to work together. Figure out what the student is struggling with. If they are struggling with the content, then you can adjust your instruction to meet his needs. You can find out more information by working with the student individually and allowing the student to work with others.
