  Case: Student not completing homework..
This student is an amazing learner and completes all assignments in class. She actively participates with the class and constantly works well within groups. However, when any homework is given, it never returns completed. Its blank and incomplete. When asked, she always says she forgets, even though I've given several reminders within her agenda and work book. How can I encourage her to do her work outside of the class?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Being that it sounds as if you have already spoken with the student regarding the issue, I will not suggest doing so again. In fact, this seems to be an at-home issue in which there may be more going on than just "forgetting." As such, my attempt at resolution would begin with communicating with the parent or guardian instead, just as you have done here. That way, the parent can help the student to complete their homework even if merely by reminding them. The parent could also then help to enforce any consequences that you establish for not completing homework, which was my next suggestion. You could try a reward system in which the student receives some sort of positive reinforcement for completing her homework. Depending on your policy, I might also consider providing the student with another attempt at being responsible by accepting late work for partial credit. Finally, I suggest catering to the student's needs and/or interests. This could mean allowing the student to begin homework during the school day, administering the homework some other way, or assigning more engaging or challenging homework.
