What are some ways to motivate Amelia to bring her clarinet? If those do not work, what are so ways to assess that knowledge is being learned? Should Amelia receive zeros for non-participation? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) The best way to improve this situation with Amelia is by not giving her zeros for not having her clarinet. I would have Amelia write during clarinet practice the benefits of having a clarinet at school, and what she can learn from playing it. I would always also try to come up with some type of positive reinforcements such as tickets or free passes to something she likes to do. Maybe this will motivate her to bring in the clarinet to school instead of offering a negative reinforcement of giving zeros.                 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: I agree zero's are not a good idea and creating a back up plan like writing may help her rememeber Rated On: October 16, 2014 7:13 pm Rated By: ehaZeb
