Case: Get my attention
I encountered a student during my time in the classroom who is constantly trying to get my attention and the attention of the teacher. I know that he could be a very good student but he does not use his time wisely and is sometimes disruptive when the other students are working. I think that he needs constant attention and, unfortunately, finds a negative way to do it most times. He also feels that he needs to be the class comedian. I tried not addressing his antics in the hopes that he would stop but it has continued for the entire three weeks. Most times when he is acting up a lot, the teacher is outside of the classroom but he will still be mildly disruptive even when she and I are both there. After asking him to quiet or settle down once or twice in a class he is usually pretty good. It would be my goal for him to be able to come into class and get to work without the usual 5 or 10 minutes of his antsy stand up comedy routine. Is there a good way to achieve this goal?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Attention seeking is very coming in classrooms. I've had students like this in my class who seek attention and are off task. A strategy that you can use is a behavior plan/chart. On the behavior plan/chart, you can put the areas of concern and the subjects of the day. For example, during reading I would put: stayed on task, did not disrupt others, stayed quiet (this will go along with the remaining subjects as well). At the end of reading, I will check the student off. At the end of the day, the behavior chart should be full of points or exes.There will be a total of 25 points. I will allow the student to pick the number of points he or she will need to receive before the end of the day. For example the student chose 18 points out of 25. If he or she reaches 18, I will give a treat at the end of the day. This really works for my students that attention seek. Hopefully this works for you.

| Comments: My personal feelings on treats aside, a student must take ownership of their actions. If they choose to do this then this will happen - they have the power to chooose. Perhaps moving his seat in the classroom to another area will help. It does not specify when his "attention seeking" behavior occurs but if it is during independent or seat work time, then it is perhaps best to have a para or assistant sit with him one on one to keep him focused. |

| Comments: This soulution would have to be utilized with all of the students so one student is not singled out. this is time consuming and may take away time from other planning. I would try to find a simpler soulution for the problem. |

| Comments: While I think using a chart is a great way for student's to see and monitor their behavior is a great idea I think this chart is a little too detailed. I also think the teacher should set the standard of points to reach, not the student. |

| Comments: I would never do this. This is wrong. I don't believe this solution would correct the problem because it shouldn't be up to the student how many points they earn. If they choose a low number of points, they can still act out and reach the low number and be rewarded. |

| Comments: I feel like this method is time consuming and gives the child too much freedom. This may be used as a monthly behavior chart, but not a daily one. |

| Comments: What if the child chooses 0 points, I get you are trying to give children control but I think if you reward them for any negative behavior it wont help |
