Case: Lack of focus
I have a student that I work with in the classroom who will often be playing with some object that she has (and needs) such as a pencil and eraser. Or she will want to talk to me about something off topic (TV shows, animals, etc) while the teacher is instructing the class. I have tried telling her to listen because this is an important topic, and even tried saying "We can talk about this after we are done with the work and the teacher is done talking". However, it seems no matter what I do I cannot get her to pay attention. Any suggestions?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Clearly communicating expectations could be a good course of action. If this dies not work there are many strategies to keep this student on task. Proximity control, preferential seating, and behavior contracts are good ways to ensure that the teacher is near and the student knows how to act. |
