  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!)
You can use a number of strategies:
Depending on what his accommodations are, you can give this student extra time to complete the work.
You can modify the lesson to fit the student, have him answer the questions orally, have less expectations from him, and so on.
You can also provide different means of presenting the information, make it hands on or physical so that he is engaged.
