Case: Lack of focus
I have a student that I work with in the classroom who will often be playing with some object that she has (and needs) such as a pencil and eraser. Or she will want to talk to me about something off topic (TV shows, animals, etc) while the teacher is instructing the class. I have tried telling her to listen because this is an important topic, and even tried saying "We can talk about this after we are done with the work and the teacher is done talking". However, it seems no matter what I do I cannot get her to pay attention. Any suggestions?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The student is having a hard time paying attention or on task, speak to her other teachers to see if she is doing similar actions. If so, I would speak to the specialist at the school to see if the student have anything in her records indicating a problem. Start with the RTI process with this student but first conference with the parents to see how the student is responding at home. |

| Comments: This is the option I would use. First, ensure it is not just in your class that she is easily distracted. if it is happening in other classes there could be a problem that needs addressing. Conferencing with the parents to advise of the situation is important as well. |

| Comments: It's definitely important to talk to the parents before following any course of action. I do agree that the teacher should talk to the specialist about the situation after the parents have been made aware of the behavior. |
