If he sits at his own table he does not complete his work and draws on the table, constantly moving around the room, playing, talking, and destroying pencils, crayons, etc. When she sits him at her table he consistently completes his assignments. She has spoken to the parents several times. She has put him on a daily hourly behavior plan with incentives. She has expressed her concerns to administration. He thinks it is funny and continues to be a class clown. He is already on RTI and has been held back in the third grade. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) You must start very small. Offer a reward of something the student enjoys doing for every couple of minutes he is on task; for example: I love the way "Johnny" is sitting in his seat ready to work, and place a skittle or M&M on his desk (whatever treat is his favorite). If he likes to draw or IPad/computer time, then offer a reward of 5 or 10 minutes of free choice at the end of the day for so many checks earned. Place a visual checklist on his desk laminated for ease of use, or place in a folder and have each teacher check off at the end of class. The key is that it must be instant reward for the positive things he does, even however little they are! Utilize RTI for everytime he shows a strategy, offer reward. Everytime he attends to a question the first time directions are given offer reward, etc. You will be delightfully surprised how quickly it can turn around.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Yes, for students for behavioral problems, every little thing counts, especially being rewarded for the small things Rated On: October 23, 2014 11:06 pm Rated By: Amanda Smith                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: This solution frames things in the positive.
