Case: Inclusion: Burnout
Ms. Heart is a Special Education Teacher in an upper elementary setting. She has a student that has an IEP; is off task over 90% of the time, antagonizes other students so that the teacher cannot hear, is capable but displays very little care or concern for work or completion, and tries to just put her head down and sleep daily during math.
Several different strategies and interventions have been attempted to no avail. Ms. Heart is extremely frustrated knowing that her student is capable under the appropriate conditions but is faced with making it work in the general education classroom. How can she serve this very demanding student along with the other 5 students with IEP's that are on extremely different levels both socially and academically?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Maybe with young children, an incentive program would work to get the student on task and to perform better on assessments. If students display the intellect to complete quality work then they should be given challenging curriculum and assessments. Ms. Heart should think about giving incentives to this student, along with differentiating assignments that offer more of a challenge for the student. Also, student choice could make the student more invested in their education because he or she choose their assignment. |

Comments: The more challenging, the more the student tries to avoid the work. Strategies and interventions such as incentives have been exhausted. This is an inclusion classroom so EVERYTHING about it is differentiated. When trying to teach math and new skills there is only so much student choice that can be provided. |

Comments: I like this solution because I believe it may resolve the problem. If the student is allowed to choose an incentive to work towards it would help the student stay on task. Also, it is important for Ms. Heart to get the situation in check so that the rest of her students do not miss out because of this one student. |
