He has had a very difficult time adjusting to our classroom and school rules. During the time he is in my regular ed classroom, he constantly hums or sings during independent work time, he refuses to complete work, and he has difficulty showing respect towards adults and acknowledging when someone is addressing his behavior. I would consider myself a moderately strict teacher and I make is a priority to stay consistent with the students. It is already March and we are heading into testing time. What are some ways that I can quickly get this child on the right track so that I can focus my attention on covering standards instead of behavior? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Have little queues to keep the student on track. Have something that represents when he needs to contain himself and when something is not appropriate for that moment.
