  Case: Always Off Task
I have one student in my class that is always off task. We give him options and incentives in hopes it will brings his attention back to the task or assignment but he always seems to get back off task. When he is off task he will distract other students and can make it difficult to regain full control of the class unless he is removed. Any other ideas for how to keep him on task for longer periods of time?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I too am interested to hear what others suggest for this specific student, as I am dealing with a similar student in my internship right now. Throughout my time I have been taught, to find the student's currency. However, with this specific student, even when we do find his currency, it does not seem to alter the behavior for very long - something that you too seem to be struggling with. At this point my CT is beginning the process to monitor his behavior, and begin the paperwork to get him tested, as we think that may be part of some of his behavior issues in class. This may be the same thing for your student, and something that needs to occur, to determine what really will work for this student in the long run.

Comments: This suggestion talks more about the answerer's student than the initial poster's student. I don't see it as relevant information because of this.

Comments: This solution is very hard to understand. I am not sure what you mean by currency or if that is an appropriate term to use.
