Dark Knights of the Round Table

Sir Yells-a-lot

Our 1st sir Yells-A –Lot moved. What we discovered was that most of his behavior happened at 10:30 everydayWe started giving him a snack in the morning (because he would get to school late and not eat breakfast.) He moved as we were collecting data but most of the out-burst ceased in the morning.

Results*Student /teacher rating – behavior escalated student didn’t like being singled out. *Small group reading instruction worked when student would attend, but didn’t like being the only one going*Class reward system worked for whole class- to improve overall behavior, but all students would get point for going to small group and for attempting to work independently*Also teacher started working with him on reading before reading time so student would know about reading story before rest of class and was building confidence*Intervention works when teacher does class reward system and front load lessons consistently

ResultsStudent has flourished. He carries himself differently. Because of frequent breaks does not just get up and walk out of class. Student went from being suspended long term last year to now being a leader in his grade. He enjoys attention for peers and when given positive attention from them he excels.
