What do you do with a socially immature student who struggles to stay on task, and therefore struggles to grasp academic concepts?
- recommend one of the school counselor’s small groups for self-esteem or peer relationships
- after-school Math tutoring
- design a behavior plan that targets three specific goals and a checklist to track daily (or hourly) successes
- set up read-aloud sessions where the student can read books to a younger buddy student.
- schedule one-on-one time with an instructional assistant to work on multiplication facts and spelling
- use a timer and give the student micro-assignments (”complete this problem in 2 minutes and then come and show me”)
