  Case: Co teacher
A first grader uses very inappropriate language and is violent towards teachers. He Screams and disrupts the ENTIRE school. When he has an episode the co teacher is removed from a classroom and the children needing to be served in that room are not receiving the services required by their IEP's because the teacher is removed front their room. This student has only received a 1 to 2 day suspension. What can the co teacher and regular teacher do until decisions are made to help this student?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I have been that co-teacher in a first grade classroom. I recommend that the co-teacher takes every morning to sit with that student for 10 minutes away from other kids. Allow this student to talk about anything! Get to know the student! It will then be important for both teachers to meet with the parents about a class behavior plan. Come up with a system that the student will respond to. For example, my first grader enjoyed drawing and wanted to draw most of the day. So, we came up with a solution/compromise. For every kind phrase he used towards others we gave him a tally mark. For every 10 tally marks he was allowed to draw for 5 Minutes. If he got 20 tally marks he could draw for 10 minutes. Positive reinforcement worked for this student. I hope it works for yours.
