Dean, Thank you for your comments. I believe you have a clear understanding of this student's personality. She is sweet and does not openly challenge me in the classroom. But she is very manipulative and stubborn in personal conversations with me. I am having regular conversations with her and with her team to try to work things out. We start a new unit next Thursday. That is her deadline to make some improvement. She is now blaming her teammates, instead of taking any responsibility for change. So I am doubtful. We just did a peer evaluation 2 weeks ago, but I am considering giving the forms to just her team to fill out on Tuesday next week, and then making a decision from there. Thoughts on that strategy?
