This student is a very sweet student, but a very low student academically. She cannot copy onto paper from the board, cannot recognize print and needs one to one help with every assignment that is given. Mrs. Smith's school does not allow moving grades, as she has asked about possible Kindergarten placement. How can this student have a successful year in first grade? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I agree if the RTI process should be started immediately. I would not require this student to copy any assignments from the board. A copy should be given to her. I would schedule a conference with parent(s) to address the academic concerns for the student. I would make the parent(s) aware that the student could be possibly retained and recommend the parent work with the student more at home. In addition, parent should look for tutoring opportunities.                 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: Scheduling a conference with the parents is a great idea.
