Sam is a fifth grade student that often struggles with organization and memorizing assignments, his teacher provides a written planner to try and help him succeed. The purpose behind the teacher utilizing a planner is to help Sam keep track of what is coming up and what is due. This planner is an effective tool to execute the students personal struggles with organization and successfully completing assignments in a timely manner. He needs both guidance and support from the teacher in order to be more successful in the classroom. This is a strong strategy to first expose and familiarize Sam with organization tools that can be used throughout his schooling.

Although the planner is effective and has good intentions, it needs to be advanced to the next level to  ensure Sam is taking accountability and not being so dependent on his teacher. In order to further his success, Sam needs to begin taking on the responsibility of writing in his planner and completing the checklist on his own. Weekly check-ins need to be done with Sam to recognize if he is completing the task at hand. In order for him to grow as a student, he needs to take accountability and learn to use the resources on his own with guidance and support when needed. Monthly meetings with student, teachers, and family can also be implemented to target his struggles and provide academic interventions to better help him.

Part 1

A strategy a teacher uses to help Sam be successful in his learning is writing the due dates on his planner for each task that needs to be completed. This is a good strategy for Sam, because he struggles with completing assignments on time. By doing this it will help him stay focused and organized with his assignments. Also, by seeing the time and due dates it helps give a visual representation on where he is at in his schedule and keeping Sam accountable for turning in his work on time.

Part 2

One additional strategy Sam teacher could have used to help Sam be successful in his learning is allowing short breaks, after completing each assignment, or after 20-30 minutes of focused work. By having Sam have short breaks and getting up to walk around, can help Sam reset his focus & attention and not get distracted. It can also help with his behavior that can at times distract his classmates.

One strategy Sam's teacher used was to allow him to choose his groups for the project. Along with this, together with the group and the teacher, they created a checklist with all the tasks assigned for each member. This is beneficial for Sam because the group is very supportive and encouraging on getting Sam to focus and get his work done. Sam is able to make connections with people he knows and is comfortable with, especially if the rest of the group tries to be focused on completing their project. Along with encouraging Sam, this also helps improve Sam’s discipline and problem solving techniques, by having the group pressure him to get his work complete before the due dates. This will help Sam gain responsibility for his work and will push him to help his classmates complete their project.

One strategy that the teacher uses is meeting with Sam’s group to create a checklist with his task and due dates. Using this strategy will help support Sam in his learning because it will help him be more organized. Also using this strategy will help Sam not only with his organization and keeping track of what is due and when but it will allow him to be more responsible with his work and making sure he gets it done on time. This is also a good strategy so that he does not feel overwhelmed with all the writing and doing it at the last minute.

Another strategy that Sam’s teacher could have used in order to make sure Sam is on track is having Sam / students submit each section of the project on the due dates and having some check in time with feedback. This will allow Sam to make sure he has his work done on time as well as this will allow his team members to also have everything they need from Sam. Giving Sam and other students feedback will allow students to know how they can make their presentation/ writing stronger and allow them a better understanding of the expectation.

Sam’s teacher utilizes a checklist that was placed in his planner, to ensure that he stays on task in his group. These strategies are beneficial to Sam because they encourage him to stay motivated and organized. The checklist can also hold Sam accountable because he has the ability to check off what he has completed while also being able to see what still needs to be done. Sam also struggles to stay organized in class, the planner is helpful because it organizes the assignments that need to be completed for his group work. Meeting with his teacher will ensure that Sam is staying on task and that he is on track with his checklist and planner.

Part 2:

An additional strategy Sam’s teacher can utilize is meeting with him daily to have him work on creating his own planning techniques. This strategy can help him to have control of what he believes he can finish each day/week. Having him set his own intentions and goals can encourage him to take charge of his individual education. It will also allow him to slowly become more on task each week because he will have an understanding of what he can complete. As time goes on, his checklists will become more advanced.

The strategy Sam’s teacher used to ensure his success was giving him more time to finish their tasks. This strategy is a good one because it will help with their frustration, lack of concentration, and his horseplay in class. First of all, this strategy will be extremely helpful to deal with the frustration Sam feels with writing. This extra time can allow Sam to ask questions and understand the material. Second of all, this strategy will be a good way to improve his concentration with writing. This extra time can also assist with making him more focused because he will have additional time to work on his assignments. Additionally, having more time is also a way of having more one on one time with Sam. This can allow Sam to have the assistance he needs outside of class. Third of all, it will help prevent unnecessary horseplay. The extra time will allow more time with the teacher and allow him to have additional feedback in regard to his tasks at hand. The strategy the teacher used of having more time made Sam less frustrated, more focused, and prevented unnecessary horseplay. This strategy was a great way to help Sam succeed in class.

Sam's teacher helped him write down the due dates on a checklist to be able to check off the ones he has finished, and be able to see the ones he has left to do.

# data[].attributes.body
Sam’s teacher opted to try using a checklist with Sam, which was a good option to pick because Sam’s problem seems to be one of disorganization rather than inattention or miscomprehension. Creating a method of organization is a good remedy for the perceived problem, and Sam appears to adhere to it at first. But without supervision, Sam is proving unreliable at following up with his concurrent assignments. The checklist reminds Sam of his upcoming responsibilities, but he appears to need reminding to check his reminders. Sam’s checklist still has value in the effort to correct his behavior, but it will not be able to correct the behavior by itself.

I would suggest combining the checklist with the additional strategy of timed check-ins with Sam. It appears that now that the checklist is implemented, Sam’s problem is staying focused and on-task. Using a timer, Sam’s teacher should set a quiet alarm for every 15-20 mins, and check on Sam at each interval, and redirect back to task if necessary. His teacher should ensure that she is referring to the checklist when redirecting Sam, and discuss his progress on the list with him. The desired outcome is that once Sam becomes accustomed to checking his checklist at short, regular intervals with the teacher, he will be able to transition to using this strategy without the teacher’s supervision.

The strategy that Sam’s teacher uses to ensure Sam’s learning success is the use of a planner, in which the teacher records Sam’s assignments.

The use of a planner for Sam is a great strategy because his teacher records all the class assignments that Sam needs to work on.  Sam can go back to his planner every time he needs to remember what to work on, to check the assignments he has finished and see the assignments he still needs to work on. The use of a planner is a great strategy to keep Sam focused and keep him on task.

Another strategy that Sam’s teacher should use in addition to the planner is to make Sam responsible for writing down his own assignments, make him check daily with his teacher to receive feedback, and write a small reflection at the end of the day to make sure that he is still on task or see what he needs to work on.

1. A thing the teacher tried to do was putting Sam within a group to work. I see this as an attempt to give him more responsibility for him and others.
