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!)
I had 2 students in my class last year that were like this. It didn't matter if they were receiving good or bad attention, just as long as they were getting attention. I finally got to the point that I was so frustrated I had to come up with something. I made a personal behavior incentive for both of them to kept at their desk. It was a type of contract between the students and myself. They even had to sign it. We would conference at the beginning of the week and go over the rules about what we are supposed to do in class and then we would talk about our contract. We came to a mutual agreement about what would happen if they met my expectations during the week. They knew that if they kept up their end of the deal, that I would keep up mine. If I had to get on to them, they got a strike on their personal behavior chart. This helped so much because they felt like they were in charge of this contract and in charge of what happened. |

| Comments: If I was in this situation I would do this. I think it is a great way for students to take charge of their own behavior and gives them tangible evidence of their behavior. |

| Comments: I like how this places the student in charge of his fate but I would also try to develop a more personal relationship with my student and explain how their behavior is hurt me. |

| Comments: This idea seems simple, yet effective. I liked that there was a weekly review about what was expected of the students and that they had some say into the contract. |
