  Case: Unhelpful Help
This is a 4th grade student in an SBCP Self-Contained unit and has many "unexpected" behaviors that do not align with the classroom set of expectations. However, when he is calm and focused, he will likely point out other students who are being "unexpected" and try to correct them in an effort to help the teachers. How can this instance be tied in to helping him when he exhibits these same "unwanted" behaviors.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would pull the student aside to ask him if he thinks the behavior he demonstrates is distracting. When doing so, don't say that he is the one doing them, just say "you are good at pointing out distracting behavior, would it be distracting if you do X?" and if he agrees to them, politely point out that he sometimes engages in the same behavior. If he has the desire to correct others, he likely will want to correct his own behavior as well.
