If a student is not academically challenged, they can become bored and off task. Once a student is off task, you have a management problem.<br /><br />All students want to feel that they are a part of the class. This includes students with straight As [grade rating a student's work as superior in quality : one graded or rated with an A] and students who are close to dropping out.<br /><br /><span style="color:#ffffff;"><strong>CURRICULUM IS THE ELAN VITAL</strong></span><br /><br />Make sure when you write your curriculum that students can do extra work for a small amount of points.<br /><br /><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 316px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 212px" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5180951280770894674" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTZETOZnpjYDc9nBtI-bhKECGPWSA6OPxSTK8UYNzFT7ZprZ4UD7vZv3dDSvRYhaoidYyrY_cmdMInkSfzkHWY_nsauA3HncFmjCfF3bx_FFb2-DzZJC5d-Egdptdx7Zw8MytiKZdc2Ng/s400/VCCI0002.jpg" width="264" height="202" />This extra work is for the students who finish early.<br /><br />The extra work can be advanced placement (AP) level.<br /><br />Students who felt the regular assignment was easy will feel challenged by the extra work.<br /><br />Students who have many Fs [grade rating a student's work as failing : one graded or rated with an F] on assignments in your class are not dumb.<br /><br />You are grading students based upon learning the material, not their intelligence.<br /><br />Students may have many reasons why they get low grades and rebelling is high on the list.<br /><br />These students might not have the self confidence to do the academically challenging assignments.<br /><br />You must believe in these students and not give up on them when they tackle academically challenging assignments.<br /><br />When they rise to your level of rigor, they will build self confidence because they knew it was tough and they did it. </span><span style="color:#99ffff;"><br /></span><span style="color:#99ffff;"><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDIFIRf_snS5mBHOaOb_N1XDKAiif-0x2S8-bpf20vaJkmAlVBYps9uqcSS7KFOjWJ2ylOIRlKNvXnJ37LIWxFV1ztH_De0Y1B8yjdVmFactAjGKVC95iKPYDfpn2ZgPqXF4eVs5v44Ns/s1600-h/blue_line2.gif"><img style="CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5180948841229470498" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDIFIRf_snS5mBHOaOb_N1XDKAiif-0x2S8-bpf20vaJkmAlVBYps9uqcSS7KFOjWJ2ylOIRlKNvXnJ37LIWxFV1ztH_De0Y1B8yjdVmFactAjGKVC95iKPYDfpn2ZgPqXF4eVs5v44Ns/s400/blue_line2.gif" /></a> </span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">All are welcome to my Mayam Abbo OSTs collection at
