  Case: Distracting Student
I have a student in my internship who acts out when things don't go her way or when she doesn't receive praise for her good deeds. She will crawl on the floor, make disruptive noises, and refuse to comply with the teacher. What are some ways I can help this situation? My teacher has tried a lot of strategies.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
A behavioral chart might work well with this student or some type of sticker system depending on her age. If she has a good week then she can be offered some kind of incentive such as extra technology time, lunch with the teacher, or maybe depending on your school she might be able to play a board game with someone of her choosing. Another idea might be to give her the choice to change the behavior as this might allow her to feel more in control.

Comments: The questions of her age is a good one, it's easier to solve a problem when we have an idea of the grade and age of the student.

Comments: I agree with all of this. Having a visual and incentive is a great way to encourage good behavior. Also, letting her choose whether she's going to be good or act out, and rewarding or punishing her consequently is a good way to show her that she CAN choose and be responsible. I love the idea of lunch with the teacher as a reward.

Comments: I like the idea of implementing a behavior chart for the student to actively monitor it. Offering some sort of incentives or rewards that will interest the child could also be useful as you stated. As well as allowing her the chance to improve her behavior.
