Case: Shuts Down
I have a student who begins to cry and shuts whenever she does not understand how to do something. She is a sweet child, loves school, and does her homework. She is on an RTI for reading and math fluency. When we met with her parents we discussed how this reaction is detrimental to her learning. They have the same problem at home and we all think it is a lack of self-confidence. She is struggling but every time she puts her head down and cries I feel like she is getting further behind. I work with her in small groups in reading and math every day and tutor her during bus duty plus an hour after school once a week. I have tried encouragement, conferences, and tough love. Nothing is working. What else can I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Assigning this particular student a peer mentor could be a helpful solution. This student could sit beside or near her in class so when she doesn't understand she can ask her peer mentor to help her work through it. Sometimes students need a peer to explain something to them in a way they might better understand it. |

| Comments: The idea has the right goal, but I feel can be detrimental to the child in the long run. This can make the student feel that they have a crutch to fall back on whenever they do not understand something and can make them become reliant on that. |

| Comments: While i believe the use of peer mentors is a good idea, you also do not want this student to feel embarrassed that she does not understand the material. |
