  Case: Repeating Students
Due to the number of students at Mr. Henry's school, several students take his health class multiple times per year. Those students are often taught the same materials and given the same assessments the second time they take his class. What are some ways he can challenge those students, while ensuring the other students are taught and assessed on those same materials?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Mr. Henry could possibly create enrichment activities for the students that have already learned and mastered the content the first go around. For example, perhaps Mr. Henry could offer a lengthy application project that these students could work on throughout the course so they are still using the content but learning to apply it in different ways.

Comments: This solution is what I was thinking of. Students who have already mastered the content could work on enrichment activities like creating a PowerPoint or Prezi that covers a specific topic to present to the class, or students could be grouped together to complete a webquest on a specific topic that is being covered. I would consider looking at all the topics these students have already learned about and mastered and maybe come up with one or two enrichment activities these students can work on while you are teaching the first year students. That way, your students are working on the same thing, they are just working on different levels.
