[MCP] question to post?

[lisa Battaglia]

i definately agree with praising all of my students
individually. An affective tool that I have
implemented is doing student evaluation forms. I meet
with the student individually as we awknowledge the
student's strengths and weaknesses and also set goals.
This way, students have a clear sense of expectation
and praising a student is more effective. The student
actually feels a greater sense of accomplishment.
However, how do you reach a student that just does not
care? Is it the age, ethnicity or attitude of the new
generation?
