Case: It Must be Opposite Day
I have a student in my classroom who does the complete opposite of everything I say. He seems genuinely remorseful when he realizes his bad choice, but he continues to do this. If I tell him to walk, he runs; if I tell him hands down, he touches; If I tell him to sit, he stands. It's very frustrating and other students are beginning to copy him. What should I do to get him to follow instructions?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This student may be a great candidate for a 504 plan or a behavioral plan. Additionally, positive reinforcement when the student does anything good or something small that you like will encourage the student to refrain from their compulsive behaviors. Talking with the student's parents to see what works at home and how you can bring that into the classroom may also prove to be a great solution, as perhaps the student is uncomfortable in a formal setting and has certain routines that help him at home. |

Comments: I agree, it is important to discuss with the parents if this behavior happens at home and what they have done that has been successful in the past. |

Comments: I don't think the student should receive positive reinforcement when they are correcting their behavior because it may be the only thing that motivates them to do so. Then, going back to being bad so the reinforcement continues when they are only good sometimes. |

Comments: Again, I feel that in-class solutions should be tried first before consulting parents or creating 504 plans. |

Comments: this is a very helpful solution, talking with the parents and setting up a proper plan to better aid the student is a great way to start, especially if a 504 plan is necessary. |
