Answer to Question 1

A cognitive-process approach would be most helpful in this situation because it offers guidance about the specific ways Jimmy might be thinking about word problems. A behavioral approach focuses on observable behaviors rather than on the cognitive processes that might underlie them. A biological perspective is also of little use unless Ms. Marx suspects that Jimmy's problems are related to inherited disabilities or slower-than-average brain maturation.

Answer to Question 2

An integrated curriculum that builds learning in several content areas will provide motivational and meaningful learning. Making assignments that have personal relevance will be motivational. Middle school students will benefit from individual attention of a teacher mentor. This one-to-one relationship will help to keep students connected with someone who demonstrates care for their best interests. Respect for the privacy of the students is essential.
