Case: Cubby Buddy
A student in your class will not leave their cubby. When prompted to leave the cubby a tantrum is thrown and disrupts the whole class. The teacher is unaware on how to stop or address this situation. The students complete work in their cubby but will not sit in a regular desk. How can the teacher meet the needs of the student without appearing to have ineffective classroom management?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
To be honest, in my classroom I allow students to frequently move around as long as they are doing well in the class. My classroom is rather large, and I have both tables and desks. I assign students to desks, but if a student wants to sit at a table or on the stool I allow them to do so until it gets in the way with their instruction. In your situation, I would try to use positive reinforcement to coax the student from their cubby. I would make it something unique for them so that it really piques their interest. However, this would be strictly to help the student develop emotionally and socially. If the student is doing well regardless of where they are, and they can see what you are trying to teach I may would allow them to remain there. |

Comments: I agree. Positive reinforcement is a great tool. I like the other points you made as well, especially the idea that the student should be allowed to work in their cubby often as long as it isn't negatively affecting them. |

Comments: Yes, I get where you are coming from to avoid conflict with the student, but how can they work standing at their cubby? You could ask the student where they would like to sit or who they want to sit next to? The problem could be they don't like their seat. |
