  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!)
Engange the student in a one-on-one conversation. Would he like to be challenged a little more? Is there an outside problem keeping him from doing his best? Perhaps the conversation goes a little further and gets Mom and Dad involved. I am a little more in the tough love category. Maybe he is taking a lot more time simply because it is given to him. However, I would definitely give the student positive feedbeck whenever possible.

Comments: This is a good idea because the student should be aware of what he is doing and the teacher talking to him might help him get a better insight. The parents should be contacted if the problem persists.
