Case: student always wanting attention In a class i substituted for, there was this student who would always try to get my attention to show me everything they were doing or to ask for help on things she really did not need help on. This was a disruption as I had to stop talking to the students wether as a class or individually to see what the student needed. What solution do you suggest for this? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) There are a few solutions that can be executed here, which will be either proactive or reactive. Because negative attention may still serve as attention for this student, it would be better to rely on the proactive strategies in this situation, of which there are several. First of all, set clear expectations for all students about attention-seeking. As part of this, establish visual cues to indicate when it is appropriate to ask for attention. Then, practice appropriately asking and waiting for attention, as this student may lack the necessary social cues to do so. When the student does this successfully, reward them. If the student is seeking attention in intervals, however, check in with that student and give them praise for good behavior before the problem behavior occurs. If none of the above works, you could pair the student with a peer with whom they can engage without disruption when you are busy. |
