  Case: Student is a runner!
We have a third grade student who is a runner! Last week in transitioning to another class, I found him outside climbing the fence. He has been at our school for the last three years, and somehow, teachers have been able to manage. This year his teacher is overwhelmed and is not willing to have the student in his class. The team met and decided to have the student rotate every 30 minutes to a new teacher where he will be distracted until they are able to get this student into a self-contained ESE school. I do not agree with this as I was one of the teachers he worked with in his rotation. Working one on one, this student is great. He is smart, he loves to read, and he has good conversation skills. After more students joined our group, I noticed he started to be disruptive and stomp his feet.

Do you have any suggestions on how we can work with this child without disrupting the entire class in doing so?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
If the school is close to a main road, I would recommend seriously stopping this students behavior. If your school has a resource officer, bring them in a do a lesson on the dangers of traffic. This should stop the students behavior.

Comments: They are trying to stop the child's behavior but it's not working. I think just warning kids about traffic may not be enough, especially if the child might be used to running and navigating traffic.

Comments: Just having a school resource officer come in and talk to the students won't help stop behavior like this, even if their is a major road right next door. The student may be aware of traffic and may never even run that way, but a totally different way. It seems that the teachers have been trying to stop this behavior to no success, and they probably had a SRO or administrator out there with him before, and if this isn't stopping it then having an officer come talk to them probably won't either.
