Case: Slow to complete Assignments I have a student who has the potential to have one of the highest averages in the class. However, he is an incredibly slow worker. He understands the material presented to him which is why I do not understand why it takes him so long to complete assignments. He does not have a 504 nor an IEP. I allow him extra time to complete assignments if need be; however, this is happening on a constant basis. Almost every assignment is either incomplete or it takes him an extremely long time to finish it. As a result, it is causing him to have a lower average than he should, and I do not want this behavior to transfer over to his standardized testing. What should I do? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Create incentive for accomplishing assignments in short periods of time. Start small, "Oh, I love how Johnny has finished question #1 and is already working on question #2!" Place a skittle or M&M on his desk (his favorite kind). Little incentives like this will provide instant feedback for doing things in a quick an precise manner. The grades will go up, and eventually you ween him off of the instant reward and make it once or twice per week. |
