First, I would try to find out why the student motivation is low. If there are no clues, I would then look at the topic I am teaching, how I am delivering it and try to see if there are any improvements I could make to increase student motivation and participation. For example, do students feel supported and is the work appropriately scaffolded.

I would be looking to find ways of extending this student through enrichment activities, as mentioned, peer mentoring would be good. Another idea could be to provide an independent project that is relevant to the subject and also of interest to the student. They could then present this to the class and this adds value to the student and also to the classes knowledge.
