  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!)
I am having the same problem with a student. At first, I was giving him extra time to complete assessments; however, it was becoming excessive. I had a meeting with his mother and told her that, since he did not have a 504 or an IEP with accommodations that I could no longer give him extra time. Instead, I give him frequent reminders during assessments on how much time he has left. Since the meeting, he has become much better at completing his assessments.

Comments: Great idea. I didn't think of how much of a problem it is to continue to allow a student extra time. The more you do it the more you enable them. Great solution.

Comments: I think this is a great solution. If after this it still continued then I would maybe talk to the right person about getting a testing accommodation.
