  Case: Acting Out
In one of my co-taught classes we have a student that is served under an IEP and acts out constantly. While currently his alignment report has him in the co-taught setting it has become evident that he will be more successful in the resource setting. He lacks many pre-requisite skills that he needs to be successful in this course but his IEP review isn't for another few weeks, so he will be in our class for the remainder of the semester. Because the work can seem very intimidating to him at times, rather than working, he acts out and is a constant disruption to himself and others. What are some strategies I can utilize to keep this student engaged and focused so that he is not a disruption to the rest of the class?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Even though the IEP review is not for a while, it does not mean you cannot have a meeting to discuss appropriate accommodations, revising the BIP and services. It sounds like the student is not being successful and acting out. If this is the case, providing assignments with accommodations such as examples, and hints. I would consider a BIP if the student does not already have one.

Comments: By having assignments that are more suited to the students level will, like you said, keep the students attention on the task at hand rather than acting out.

Comments: I would use the same solution to the situation. The student seems like he or she will be held back academically is action is not taken.
