He would always sit in the back and not pay attention and refuse to do his work while making noises to distract the other students. He would sometimes throw paper balls while I was teaching. No matter how many times I sent him out or gave him consequences, nothing seemed to affect him. He was at risk of failing the third grade and having to repeat it because he would not do any work? what are some things I could do with this student? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Yes, I agree. Praise him for his good behavior. Since consequences don't seem to be working well, try setting behavior goals. When he reaches these goals, reward him. Get to know the student - their hobbies, interests, etc. Find out what kind of reward you can get him to work for and use it to your advantage.                 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 agree. finding out and relating to the student's interests and hobbies can also help improve his behavior, In addition to praising him on any positive behavior he exhibits.
