Case+Study+Critique

The following case deals with a sixth grader named Garden. Garden is a charming boy, who seems to have learning disabilities, especially in maths. He disturbs the lesson over 1.85 times a minute by chatting around with his classmates, which drives his teacher, Mrs Yeager crazy. She doesn´t know what to do so she asked the BST for help. They figured out, that Garden is the youngest in his family and his siblings are much older than he is. He is used to be in the spotlight and he is used to get the attention from the elders. The team came up with the idea of letting him teach a math lesson so that he will have the attention from his peers and from his teacher. She helped him to prepare the lesson and he really enjoyed preparing and teaching. He gets the attention he wants to have, he improved in math, the peers enjoyed to be taught by one of their peers and last but not least, he didn´t disturb the lesson any more. It was a success.
