One of her students is an ELL student who is very smart but also extremely quiet. He is easily distracted and sometimes he will even get up during a whole group activity or discussion and just walk away to start doing something else. He is such a sweet boy and a very deep thinker. Ms. Smith is just having trouble communicating with him and keeping him focused. I think Target is a great option for him but his score did not make him eligible. What should she do? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Find out what his hobbies and interests are. Maybe using material that covers some of those things will keep him more focused on the task at hand. You could also put him on a behavior chart where if he does good for each segment of the day he can earn a sticker and then at the end of the day if he has so many stickers he can earn a bigger prize.
