Case: Socially awkward student
A student has a difficult time working with others. This student is particularly socially awkward, and he mumbles continuously, so it's very difficult to understand him. He gets made if you ask him to repeat himself. He rolls his eyes and stomps around when put in any paired or group setting. He keeps his head down a majority of the class. He claims he's listening, but it's hard to keep him actively involved. How do you reach this student? How do you teach him to effectively and appropriately work with others?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
If this behavior continues, I would get the school counselor involved. She may have some suggestions as to how to handle this behavior. I know that some school systems have behavior programs in place that is geared towards situations like this. Also, have some partner activities and let the student work with a partner on some assignments, preferably someone the student is a little comfortable with already. Maybe this could help him open up a little bit. |

Comments: Both of these suggestions are great ideas, I would talk with the school counselor and see what they have to say about the situation, but I also think that pairing the student with a classmate they are comfortable with would be a great way to get the student involved and participating in class. |

Comments: I think that talking to the school counselor would definitely shed light on the situation. It sounds like the student does not like to work with a partner, but I agree that it would be good to put the child with someone who is a good fit for them. |

Comments: Agreed. Usually, a socially awkward student like this doesn't like to work with many people. Letting him work with a partner that he's comfortable with might be a good choice. It will help him to open up gradually. |

Comments: Yes; if the teacher feels like, after effort has been put in, that he/she has done all they can to reach the student, there should be people in place at the school that can address such an issue. |

Comments: This solution is very good. It is important that students feel comfortable in the space, and working with somebody they are familiar with may provide that for them. Furthermore, in the case of a teacher not knowing what to do, contacting the school counselor would be the most appropriate answer as they are better suited for the situation. |
