  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 is putting a great deal of pressure on the teachers who have this student in the rotation. Since the student works so well on a one-to-one basis, why not allow him to complete his work with an aide? There is clearly an issue here that needs to be figured out.

Comments: I agree that this puts a loot of pressure on the teachers. The student may need more one-on-one time with his teachers.
