When we walk in line through the halls, he stretches arms and legs outside the bounds of the line and has bumped other students before. He likes basketball and his movements mimic fake outs and dribbling. So far I have only acknowledged his actions through oral reprimands. But the behavior continues, what are recommended next steps. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I have him walk next to you in the line and form a reward system for him in the hall. This way you can closely monitor his behavior and positively reinforce the behaviors you are expecting him to show. Depending on the reward system, he can earn something once he has reached a certain number of points. A sample reward could be the use of a rolling chair in the classroom. This is often something students desire to have in the classroom and would also serve as a way for the student to get any extra energy out without disrupting the class. You may also ask him to serve as a role model for the other students in the hallway. This may give him responsibility and encourage him to show the appropriate behavior.
