  Case: redirection, redirection, redirection
Mrs. Smith has a student in her class who is consistently interrupting her during instruction. This student has been redirected several times for interrupting and not raising his hand. Being that this is not a "behavior" problem, the teacher continues to redirect. However, when does the teacher draw the line and assign a consequence? Mrs. Smith feels that the student should be accustomed to classroom procedures by this point in the school year and that failing to comply with the teacher's expectations should not be tolerated. What should Mrs. Smith do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would identify if the student has an IEP or 504 plan in place. If this is something that is a working goal or if their condition is a cause of this behavior redirection is required. A positive behavior chart is a great way to help a student to be held accountable and visual be able yo see there progress. Making a goal for the day is a good reminder to help them stay on track and each time the student meets the goal they can get the incentive that interest them. Students try harder when working towards something. It also boost their self esteem.
