This student has been redirected several times for interrupting and not raising his hand. Being that this is not a "behavior" problem, the teacher continues to redirect. However, when does the teacher draw the line and assign a consequence? Mrs. Smith feels that the student should be accustomed to classroom procedures by this point in the school year and that failing to comply with the teacher's expectations should not be tolerated. What should Mrs. Smith do? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Class DoJo is amazing and will fix all of your problems with having to constantly redirect. The students gain and lose points depending on their behavior/actions throughout the day. You can use it on the computer and on your phone through the Class DoJo app. I keep my phone on me and give/take away points when needed. There is also an amazing parent communication tool, similar to a text messaging system, that is built into the website/app. Any parent that connects to DoJo will have a text messaging-type system where you will be able to send messages back and forth as often as you need. It will be a life saver and it best of all, it is free! As a teacher I also have 5 very simple rules. It has always worked out very well for me. I got them from Whole Brain Teaching (http://www.amazon.com/Whole-Brain-Teaching-Challenging-Kids/dp/0984816712/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1445223217&sr=8-2&keywords=whole+brain+teaching). 1. "Follow directions quickly." 2. "Raise your hand for permission to speak." 3. "Raise your hand for permission to leave your seat." 4. "Make smart choices." 5. "Keep your dear teacher happy." Good luck!                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I like your solution. I enjoyed reading about the Dojo app and am interested in downloading it now! Most of the other solutions just talked about how class rules should have been established at the beginning of the year rather than giving a solution that you're able to use immediately. Thanks for posting.
