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!) I would try and talk with the person in charge of the IEP meetings or the ESE department and see if their is an opening for reviewing the students IEP. I would also try and talk with the student to understand why the student is acting out and see if there are different things that we can do as a team to help the student. By working with the student, the student will see that you are trying to work with them and is more likely to work with you and not act out as much as before.
