  Case: Completely Frustrated
Ms. Williams is teaching second grade for the first time. She has a total of sixteen students. One of her students is causing havoc for the entire class. He is constantly disrupting the class and causing problems. This is a continuation from the previous year. A paraprofessional has been assigned to Ms. Williams for the majority of the day to help assist with this student. He is still causing havoc. The assistant principal and principal have met with the mom as well as aunts, grandmother, and father. There is really no support from the home. The sad part of this all is that this student could be a very good student academically if he didn't have the disciple issues. The teacher is frustrated as well as the other students. Please help!
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
It sounds like this student needs an individual behavior plan. I would first make a behavior contract with the student. Ask him/her how they think they are expected to behave in class. Make two or three goals to start with. I would share the behavior contract with their family to ask for their help in reaching the goals. Find out what kind of reward the student would like. Give him/her a list of possible rewards and then have them chose what they will get when they have met their goal. The reward might be eating lunch with the teacher, playing and educational game on the computer, a piece of candy, sitting in a special spot/chair, etc. Then, I would set up a small chart on the students desk. Have a multiple small periods of time that you watch for certain goals. If you observe them reaching the goal add a sticker to the chart. After they have earned X number of stickers they earn the reward.

Comments: I agree with this solution because it gives a precise behavior plan for the student to follow. This allows the student to take responsibility for his own behavior and holds him accountable.
