  Case: Hallways
My students are in 9-12 ESE self-contained classroom. When we go to specials they do not want to stay in a group. I do not want to put them in a line like they are in elementary, but I do not think it acceptable for them to be so spread out and where I can't see them. How do I address this?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would remind the students of their expectations. Then as you are walking, when students begin to fall behind, I would stop and not let anyone pass until they catch up. The students should catch on and police themselves. Then if they continue to not behave as expected, I would have them lineup. Then let them know that as long as they don't meet their expectations, they will be lined up. Give them a chance to break out of the line and use it as a reinforcement when the students model expected behavior.
