  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!)
I would create a system with the student. At the beginning of the week give them a list of all the assignments that will be given and maybe a short description of each. This allows the student to know about all of the work ahead of time. If the student still does not start the work when time, offer them a 5 minute stretch break before starting or a small consequence for not starting (5-10 minutes sat out a recess, etc.). Also, try building up the students motivation by pointing out skills they are good at, the student may have motivation issues.

Comments: I think that giving the students a list of assignments is great because it gives them a heads up on what they need to do so that they are not surprised and know when things need to be done.
