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 have had these students as well and didn't know what should be done. If you have an active board, I would suggest setting a time limit for each assignment and placing a countdown timer for the class to see. I started doing this for certain assignments and my kids work really hard to get it finished. Also, my slow workers even work faster. |

| Comments: I like the idea of using a timer because it helps students to focus and see how much time they have left instead of daydreaming and thinking they have a lot of time left. This would hopefully help them to see it as a challenge and motivate them to finish faster. The teacher could also explain to the class what will happen if they do not finish in time. |

| Comments: I do think this is a good idea and helps the students pace and track themselves but it may cause more test anxiety for some students resulting in poorer grades |
