  Case: Parents Have Tried Everything
There is a student who entered my school as a fourth grader this year. After a week of school, the teacher contacted the parents about the student's misbehavior. The parent notified the teacher that the student has a problem with authority. She stated that the student has always been this way and that nothing worked. His previous school tried everything, including suspension, and she cannot find a solution to help this student at home. The student is being monitored for Tier 2- behavior, but there is not enough data to move him to tier 3. Although the student is capable of producing quality work, the student's behavior has a negative effect on his grades. What can be done?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Modeling appropriate classroom behavior is important as a teacher, no matter what. Getting to know the student and finding some positive rewards/incentives with a specialized behavior system might do him a lot of good. When finding these incentives, it's important to keep in my mind his interested. These rewards/incentives need to be appealing to him and otherwise not accessible.
