When it is time to do independent class work they always are off task either not doing anything or talking to the person next to them. It disrupts the class and they don't get their work done because the student is never on task. We have tried redirecting and working one on one with the student to make sure that they do their work.                 Submit a Possible Solution Please read response(s) below (if any) before posting your solution.                 Solution 1 Posted October 8, 2017 2:59 pm anaXan Reps: 202 Have an activity, like centers, lined up for students to do once they have completed their classwork. Once you have check a student's work to make sure it is completed, send them to their center. Once your student sees that everyone else who has completed their work is now on a different, more fun, activity, they will work harder to complete their work so they can be with the others.

If he does reward him with moving him up on classroom behavior chart or acknowledge that he is making good choices. If he continues moving him to a table that you are sitting at or next to you. But be quick to catch it so that he will not have enough time to disturb others. If he keeps disrupting class and ignoring warnings take away recess time and parent note home.

The teacher may want to reconsider how the classroom desk is set up. The students may become more focused if they are in rows, with the desk separated.

Most of the time, students act out of insecurity or need for attention. Find the root of the issue. If all else fails, send the student to the counselor.

Put something in place when students are done doing work they can go do an activity quietly, once that students sees other children on to something more fun they will probably want to finish and do the same.

If the student is still off task, try to make the situation a reward or reinforce system. Like after the students are don with their work they can get books to read, play on the computer, just different center type options. This way the student will see that if they get their work done they will be able to play in centers with their friends as well. So, the reward would be being able to play after getting the assignment done.

It's also possible that they're doing it for attention. I would suggest instead of isolating the students, move the people he's talking to away from him, to a different table. Do it quietly, don't make it a big deal to the class. If all else fails, contact the parent.

For example, if the students complete their work then they will be able to have extra time on computer games. It also may be helpful to find interests of the student and incorporating those into the assignments.

If nothing seems to work I think having a teacher parent conference to see what the parents think you should do to help their child out.
