The project required the students to create a 3-d model. On the due date, a female student approached Mrs. Lee and stated, "I did not complete the project, I am not good with projects." How should Mrs. Lee handle the student's response? Should the student be allowed an alternate assessment or be allowed more time to complete the original assignment? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Before presenting the project requirements, Mrs. Lee could have done a student interest assessment to see what her students enjoy doing, and plan from that. Since the project was assigned, and the student stated she did not like the project on the due date, I would question the student as to why they are just now sharing this. I would also do some type of parent contact to ensure they knew about the project, and get any information that may have been needed regarding the students project submission. Since the student did not complete, I do think an alternate project should be assigned. This project should be discussed by both teacher and student, to give an opportunity for completion.                 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 think this solution is very useful because he will know what interests his students in all ways possible. So I would also offer an interest survey to see what my students really love doing. Rated On: October 15, 2014 11:31 pm Rated By: aZazaD
