Case: H.A.M Log (Homework Assignment Missing Log) Mr. Carver is a new teacher who has a student who will not complete any homework assignments. He has contacted the student's parents and sent home numerous H.A.M logs to be signed by parents, which always come back signed. The students does well in the class, and has an A, even with the missing homework assignments. He has spoken with other team members who teach the student, and they do not have the same issue with the student; most homework assignments are projects and students have a specific deadline by which to submit the assignment, math homework is nightly. Mr. Carver wonders if he should just ignore the fact that the student does not complete or turn in most homework assignments, or if he should involve the school counselor and administration. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) This should definitely not be ignored. Before talking to a school counselor or to school administration, I would talk to the student and try to get to the bottom of the problem. Is it a time issue? The student is clearly understanding/grasping the material, since they are getting an A in the class, but something is preventing them from doing the assignment. Is it boring? Does the student need more stimulation? Once I had spoken to the student and figured out the problem, I would proceed as appropriate, whether that was making more interesting assignments for the student (differentiated learning; perhaps another few students could also benefit from an alternative assignment), or offering time management skill lessons. |
