Case: Pencil Sharpener
A few students in the classroom I am observing in get up unnecessarily several time during a lesson to sharpen their pencil. The pencil is not dull nor broken and the student will still get up to sharpen their pencil during instructional time. This distracts the other students and causes the misbehaving student to miss out on learning. The teacher I am observing has tried implementing a strategy where four fully sharpened pencils are given to each student prior to the beginning of class to limit the amount of times students need to use the sharpener. However, even with this new strategy, I witnessed a few students purposely breaking their pencil just so they could get up and sharpen it. What strategies could be used to prevent students from using the pencil sharpener as an excuse to distract themselves during a lesson?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The teacher could try going over the classroom rules and procedures to ensure students are clear of what the expectations are in the classroom for the pencil sharpener. If students continue to disobey and are caught purposely breaking the pencils, there should be a warning with an explanation of the consequences. The teacher should also think about putting the pencil sharpener out of reach so they no longer have access to it. If the behavior still continues, the teacher should reach out to the parent/guardian. |

| Comments: I agree that time for sharpening pencils should be part of the rules and procedures of the classroom in the Classroom Management Plan, and should reviewed with the students ignoring the rules. |
