When he is asked to keep working he becomes combative and starts to exhibit inappropriate behavior. What would work to calm Myles and keep him on task with his assignment? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I have seen classroom teachers using a "Green, Yellow, Red" chart in the classroom to allow students to show the teacher if they are understanding the material (Green), need help with the material (Yellow), or do not understand at all (Red). Each student gets their own chart to have at their desk while they work on their assignment. Implementing one of these strategies in the classroom may allow Myles to show the teacher that he is struggling before he becomes stressed and shuts down. This will allow the teacher to have a visual of when Myles is struggling, without needing Myles to vocalize his issue. Solving the problem before it escalates into a negative situation will help keep Myles on task, and the classroom as safe as possible for all students.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I have never heard of this before, but I think it is a great idea!

Using this system may make that worse.

Since the students have a chart at own desk it allows them to be honest on how they feel so they can not be judged by their peers. Sometimes the students will follow the majority and say they understand the concepts if the chart is in front of the class instead of stating they don't understand the concept. This suggestion would be a safe tool for students to use in regard to confidence and learning while also providing a solution for the teacher to implement in their classroom management.
