Case: Repeater still struggles
Mrs. Smith has an 8th grade student in her ELA classroom that has had an emotional past and also suffers physically. This student's mother was killed in a tragic car accident 6 years ago. She has a history of sex abuse by a family member 2 years ago. Along with these terrible experiences, she has a speech problem that cannot be fixed and expresses family feuds continually with Mrs. Smith. This is the student's second year in 8th grade. She cannot focus and even talks under her breath to her self in class without being a distraction. She struggles continually in class and especially on tests. Mrs. Smith has talked with guidance but only gets that she doesn't qualify for special education. What are some suggestions you might offer Mrs. Smith for this student?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I know that you have talked with guidance. However, have the appropriate steps and tests been taken in order to prove they cannot qualify for SPED? Is this student in speech? That may be something to look into. If both of those have been looked at and answered and nothing in that area can be done, I would just continue to encourage the student. I would sit the student near me if I was a teacher and continue to guide her through her work. I would get on the phone and continue to ask for encouragement at the home front. None of this can hurt. Also, maybe sharing a story that you know of, where it has affected you in a way can be helpful. Sometimes it helps to know that you (as a student) are the only one hurting. They may need a line that can connect them with others. |

| Comments: This is a good solution to keep encouraging the student. I would also sit the student near me as well because the student will maybe stay focused to complete her task when the teacher is closely monitoring her at all times. |
