The student will tell the teacher she is defiantly not doing what the teacher asked of her. Then when the teacher ignores her bad behavior, she shouts and yells, making it difficult to teach. She also will try to tell the teacher what to do, and prompts the teacher to tell her she's doing a good job. When she does finally receive the one on one attention, the student is an angel. Any recommendations how it could be handled for her to stop from interrupting class, especially when she knows she is? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) A positive reinforcement chart could help. I currently have one student who is similar and we have implemented a chart system where every 15 minutes we make sure to give a check mark for that time period is he behaved well. If he does not, he does not receive the checkmark. At the end of the day if he has all his checkmarks or most of them he gets a reward. Of course this can be modified for the age group needed and it can be either longer or shorter time periods.
