Case: Advanced…but not advanced…student
A student was placed in an advanced language arts class as a sixth grader. When reviewing his assessment data, it's clear how he got placed in the class. He scored an 888 in ELA on the CRCT and a 857 in Reading. His work habits, motivation, and skill levels (writing particularly) do not coincide with these high scores. The student is failing ELA at the end of first quarter. Upon further research, it appears he scored a 180 on the 5th Grade Writing Test last year. This score is not meeting. This week is parent-teacher conferences. Does the teacher recommend the student be placed in a general ELA class for second quarter, or does the teacher offer one more quarter for student improvement?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would suggest that you put the student on academic probation for the next quarter and monitor his grades and work habits. I would set a goal of receiving a grade of 85 or higher by the end of the probation period. When conferencing with the parent, I would make a list of things the student can do during the next quarter to improve his grades such as: complete daily assignments, attend tutoring sessions, review notes, read a certain amount of minutes each day, etc. If the student does not improve by the end of the second quarter, I would recommend that he be placed in a general education class. |

Comments: I think this solution is best, maybe the student just needs a little more assistance in order to receive high marks, it's possible that they are a really good test taker but when it comes to maintaining good grades they are less mature. |

Comments: Offering another opportunity with specific benchmarks will help the student to take responsibility for his learning in this advanced class. Involvings the parent in the plan is key to the students success. |
