Management+Suggestions

Take a look at some of the links and written suggestions below.

1. Students needs movement: • Can you assign the student two desks to sit at? • Use a making connections box in the back of the room. (Students can write the connections they make to their new learning on an index card and place it in a box in the back of the classroom....this is also a great way to keep track of the number of times a student gets up if you are completing and FBA. • Place a mouse pad in the student's binder and the student can tap his pencil without making noise.

Giving students some choice may help students stay on-task and accomplish what you would like them to do. You can decide the choices, but the students still feel like they are in control. For example: if a student is not focusing becuase he is having a bad day (and he is having a bad day everyday) put a cap on the number of bad days he is allowed to have.
