Problem: Using the below scenario and by drawing on developmental themes explain the behaviour of the student, and justify a proposed response from a teacher to the scenario.
Scenario: Sando is from a non-English speaking background. Some teachers complain that he won't speak in class or look at them, and he puts very little effort into tests and assignments. Other students like him, and he can be a clown in the school yard. He produced accurate scale drawings before making a model boat in woodwork.
Developmental themes:
- Intelligence
