Case: Working with ESE student that is uncooperative An ESE student that has already gone into course recovery in the new semester does not have the best track record of completing work. This student is aware they need to be working on class work and other class related homework and projects. They will spend some class periods procrastinating on beginning work. When they do receive one-on-one assistance they try to divert their focus to looking in their book bag for a paper or they will fiddle with their iPad. If they need the use of the iPad they will stretch time by saying the link doesn't work, or they can't find the location of something. Instruction are given clearly and on multi occasions. How can this this student be helped to stay on task and work productively. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) We as teachers need to remember that kids sometimes won't do as they are told even when repeated 100 times. I also know that kids love technology and sometimes it can be a crutch, in this instance. The iPad is a crutch. You must create a reward system to ensure your student understands that it takes time and hard work to complete their assignments. They have to understand themselves, that they are the ones who must put in the work. So you must have destination points along the way for the student to understand what is going to happen in certain steps. When the student is fidgeting around, perhaps a fidget tool could be provided to help aid the tactile fixation. I know ESE students love fidget tools, perhaps even have a fidget center where that student could go to and release some extra energy before a lesson, so that way they can focus better. |
