Case: Heather is working alone, again
It is your third period 7th grade math class. You have just finished the lesson and your students are working either in
pairs or alone – their choice. You notice that Heather is working alone, again. She seems to work for a moment, then daydream out the window, and then return working again. You reflect that Heather's face often looks emotionless or blank and you can't remember if you have
ever seen her smile since school started. However, you have seen her cry before during tests and also at times during individual or
partner seatwork. Other teachers have remarked on seeing similar behavior but to a lesser extent than in your classroom. What is next?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would first ask the students if they needed any help. I would then walk around the class to the monitor students progress. When I get to Heather I would pull up a chair and to to her about the assignment and why she likes to work alone. During this conversation, I would hope to find out things that interest her. Maybe she is having a hard time on the assignment and doesn't want to ask for help aloud. I would also try to meet with her parents to hopefully get some insight. Maybe the next assignment would require student to work with a buddy. |

| Comments: I like this idea. There's nothing wrong with a student that likes to work individually, I'm like that, but it seems that more might be going on here. It's very important for teachers to get to know their students on a personal level and I think that doing this with Heather will make her more confident and make it easier for the teacher to understand Heather and her own interests. |

| Comments: The best way for us to find things out about our students is to take an interst and partake in these one on one converstations. As stated, some student do like to work alone. It is good to let the student know she is able to talk to you if she needs to. |

| Comments: I agree having a talk with her to find out why she likes to work alone would be helpful. A conference with the parents is a great way to find out if there is an issue at home that is bothering her and causing her to want to be alone. |
