Case: What to do when you have done everything... I have a very intelligent student that is a huge behavior issue. He does not complete his work, he distracts other students, and talks over me during class. I have exhausted all of the behavior management options I know. I have discussed behavior with him, I have sent him to silent lunch and taken recess, I have had conferences with mom, we made a behavior contract so that he could work for a reward of his choosing, he has been written up, I have spoken to him individually in both sweet and authoritative tones, I have even tried giving him different assignments to challenge him more, but nothing keeps him working. I really could ignore this behavior, except that it distracts and bothers my other students. I need help. Does anyone have a new suggestion on how to handle my unruly behaved student? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) It sounds like he may be bored if he is highly intelligent. I teach pre-k, and I have a student who could probably complete all of first grade right now with ease. She normally follows the rules, but there are times when she isn't challenged enough and can cause distractions for others. I find different activities to challenge her. For example, during our guided reading time she is given a separate book that is at the ending kindergarten/first grade level and she reads it by herself independently. Then, she comes back into my group and completes our phonological awareness activity. When doing independent work, I have a basket of activities for her to work on when she finishes early so that she doesn't distract others. Find what interests him/motivates him and then go from there. If he really likes the computer, let him work towards extra computer time, etc. |
