He become bored in the classroom when he is not challenged enough. When he becomes bored, he starts to misbehave. Since he misbehaves, he is sent to the office and misses instructional time. He does not need the instructional time to be successful but is often out of the classroom so he is not benefiting from school. How can the teacher change the way that she challenges her student to ensure they are not bored? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) It is important for students, such as this gifted child, to have alternative activities they can complete once the work is done. For example, I have an "I'm Done" board in the classroom. Students have many activities posted on the wall that they can complete for extra credit points. The activities includes creating crossword puzzles, a diorama, a news report, etc. Students complete these activities using previously learned concepts, but higher-level students can use research and the teacher to get a deeper conceptual understanding of the concepts.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Agreed. Those smart children should have some more alternative activities to do when they're done with their works. It's a good way to prevent them from getting bored, as well as give them the chance to practice what they've learnt in a higher level.

Once they get into the "I'm done and bored" mindset then this will only continue to get worse. I believe that students are doing the right things by partaking in extra assignments to learn and build on the basic concepts they have learned.

By offering a plethora of fun and engaging activities for students to do when finished they will be motivated to both do their work and stay busy afterwards.
