At the middle school level, Coach Finn is having a hard time getting the girls in his class to participate. He has explained to them that their grade will reflect their participation or their lack of participation. Usually, the girls will participate for a brief period of time before they lose interest again. What are some ways to encourage participation from all individuals? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) It is important to make activities appealing to all students. Many girls are not interested in playing football or field hockey. Also, girls may feel intimidated to participate in certain sports with boys. Maybe, allow girls to participate in the same activities, but also allow them to be on all girls teams sometime in order to improve their confidence.                 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: Awesome idea to let them form a girls team! They could even have fun playing against the guys! I remember doing that in high school. Rated On: October 19, 2014 10:16 pm Rated By: Lauren Hill
