Case: It's Just Kindergarten! There is a problem student in Mrs. Smith's Kindergarten class. He plays constantly while instruction is going on and is falling behind in class work because of his behavior. The teacher has made his parents aware of his behavior and addressed that it is a concern. The parents continue to avoid the situation because they say that "It is just Kindergarten and all they do is play all day anyway". The teacher has made it clear that it is more than that and has went over standards and state requirements with the parents but they still do not seem to get it. The teacher has also tried to motivate the child in many different ways. What are some ways the teacher could handle this situation? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I like the idea of inviting the parent for a day but they may cause more of a distraction for the student. I think a behavior management plan would be a great start. In my class students are not allowed to do certain activities unless they have a certain amount of behavior tallies. For example the students start out with five tally marks on the board, if the student disobeys or acts up take a tally away each time. Then say you must have at least on tally left to go to recess. Also incentives are always good, if you have all your tally marks by the end of the day you can pick from the treasure box. |
