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!)
First off, the student should be evaluated to see exactly what it is that he is running from. Is it the work in the classroom, the students, the teacher, or something else. Obviously he is unhappy about his current situation and the first step in solving the problem is figuring out what is making him so unhappy. I do not think he would benefit from moving around to a lot of classrooms throughout the day. I would have him with as few teachers as possible and have a clear reward and consequences system set up. He should also have constant breaks from instruction where he can get up and walk around the class or run a lap around the gym or P.E. field if he needs to release some energy. It also sounds like he works better in small groups, so whenever it is possible for him to work with a partner or a small group, the teacher should facilitate this for him. |
