One student, when faced with a task he is unwilling to do, immediately starts acting out. His behavior then distracts the other students from their work and in turn other kids start making inappropriate noises and behaviors. The teacher aide then takes the boy from the class to start his calm down regiment. At what point is taking the boy from the classroom hindering his own ability to learn? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) He is taking away from his own ability and the ability of others. In this type of classroom, disruptions can have very severe affects. It is difficult to bring back their focus after a major disruption. However, that is most likely a manifestation of his disability. I would suggest small group instruction and insisting on initiating a task with less than three prompts, then less than two prompts. Show that you will not stand for misbehavior, and he will need to do it anyways. If he needs to complete the task after being separated from the class, so be it. His goal is to avoid the task. He sees acting out as a way to remove himself from the situation.
