She has a total of sixteen students. One of her students is causing havoc for the entire class. He is constantly disrupting the class and causing problems. This is a continuation from the previous year. A paraprofessional has been assigned to Ms. Williams for the majority of the day to help assist with this student. He is still causing havoc. The assistant principal and principal have met with the mom as well as aunts, grandmother, and father. There is really no support from the home. The sad part of this all is that this student could be a very good student academically if he didn't have the disciple issues. The teacher is frustrated as well as the other students.

I would first make a behavior contract with the student. Ask him/her how they think they are expected to behave in class. Make two or three goals to start with. I would share the behavior contract with their family to ask for their help in reaching the goals. Find out what kind of reward the student would like. Give him/her a list of possible rewards and then have them chose what they will get when they have met their goal. The reward might be eating lunch with the teacher, playing and educational game on the computer, a piece of candy, sitting in a special spot/chair, etc. Then, I would set up a small chart on the students desk. Have a multiple small periods of time that you watch for certain goals. If you observe them reaching the goal add a sticker to the chart. After they have earned X number of stickers they earn the reward.

The student should have numerous privileges taken away from the student. Also if the discipline protocol is not working for this particular student then perhaps an alternative punishment could be in the works. If the parents are not supportive then it will be tough to alter the discipline protocol since if would probably need parent approval. If the student improves their behavior then the student should be given positive feedback.

Every student needs different approaches.   Posted on: October 18, 2014 6:33 pm Brianne Blowers Reps: 102 I think an individual incentive program and positive feedback would really help this student.   Posted on: October 19, 2014 10:56 pm uJabaz Reps: 100 Excellent suggestion!   Posted on: February 26, 2015 8:50 pm eSyTyt Reps: 101 Great suggestion!   Posted on: October 16, 2015 2:47 am Add a Comment                 Solution 3 Posted October 18, 2014 12:35 pm JepyBe Reps: 101 A good reward system is always helpful. These could be little snacks or pencils or extra time at recess. Also, consider bringing in someone from the community to talk to him and become his mentor, acting as a positive influence.

If so, I would suggest getting with your coordinator and getting one started on the student. After that is initialized, you will have formal documentation of actions from the students, parent involvement and strategies that you have given to the student. Planning an RTI will include any behavior management plans and also allow you to see if those plans are working. You will also be able to set goals.

Does the child like to draw? Computer time? What motivates the child? The teacher can build a relationship with the student and explain that his behavior is disruptive. The parapro can work with the student and provide verbal encouragement when he is behaving. The student can add sand to a jar and work towards a goal.
