He will answer whatever question I ask without considering other kids who may have the answer, is hyperactive and won't listen. The other children are disturbed by him. But in exams he does well.How do I take control of him and at the same time not impact his motivation level? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) This student needs more challenging curricula. I would include extensions in my lessons and ask higher order questions. Also a talk privately, explaining that you love the student's enthusiasm but he needs to demonstrate self control may be helpful. Using incentives can help as well. He could be assign the "teacher assistant" role and help you pass out papers, call on students, and assist student when needed.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Rated On: March 2, 2013 2:36 pm Rated By: eHeGuL
