  Case: student assistance
Many ESE students need help throughout the lesson and independent activities. The problem is that they become too reliant on the assistance and ask for help at times I know they don't necessarily need it. How do I address this dependence?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would have the students begin to work in small groups or with a partner so they can ask their friends for class first before asking the teacher. You can also have small group instruction where students know that they can come receive help from the teacher for the content. The teacher may also have to not have independent instructional time based on the student's understanding of the content.
