  Case: redirection, redirection, redirection
Mrs. Smith has a student in her class who is consistently interrupting her during instruction. 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!)
I would try giving the student three post it tabs and place them on the students desk. I would then explain to the student they have three times to interrupt me while instruction is taking place. If the student interrupts, I take one tab. I do this quietly without stopping my instruction and without calling attention to the students actions. If I take all three in one subject block, further action is taken, such as their card being pulled, a note home, loss of recess etc. At the being of each new subject block, I replace all three tabs to start again. This allows for those students who simply at times cannot remain quiet to still have a chance before further action is taken.

Comments: I think this is a great idea it is effective but also does not disrupt the flow of learning or take away instruction time for the other children.

Comments: I think this solution is the best because it will give the student a visual of how they are interrupting and then if the student does not stop the behavior consequences will be the next step.
