  Case: Help during test
Mrs. Chin is a fourth grade teacher who is struggling to help a low performing student with assessments. He always wants to sit right beside her to take a test. She usually reads him the material because she wants to test math skills, not reading. However, he has gotten used to this and refuses to test without her right there beside him. She must continue to monitor the other students, and help him too. What should she do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Mrs. Chin needs to have a conversation with the student and build his confidence. Ensure them they you are available for help when they need it but that other students may also need help. At first stop by their desk more periodically and then slowly ween off.
