  Case: Student is a runner!
We have a third grade student who is a runner! Last week in transitioning to another class, I found him outside climbing the fence. He has been at our school for the last three years, and somehow, teachers have been able to manage. This year his teacher is overwhelmed and is not willing to have the student in his class. The team met and decided to have the student rotate every 30 minutes to a new teacher where he will be distracted until they are able to get this student into a self-contained ESE school. I do not agree with this as I was one of the teachers he worked with in his rotation. Working one on one, this student is great. He is smart, he loves to read, and he has good conversation skills. After more students joined our group, I noticed he started to be disruptive and stomp his feet.

Do you have any suggestions on how we can work with this child without disrupting the entire class in doing so?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This student needs to be engaged in all activities as well as during the transitions so as not to get the compulsion to run. He could be the child that is first in line to lead the other students to their next class as the teacher walks beside him. He should have his desk close to the teacher so she can keep an eye on him and head off a running incident before it occurs. You should have this child asset by professionals and maybe get an aid in the class to monitor the child.

Comments: This is a solution that I would use. This student needs to be stopped from leaving campus.
