Upon evaluation results, the CSE recommended Resource Room (5:1) and Speech/Language Therapy small group (5:1) for Jackson’s 1st grade special education programs. His program modifications and accommodations included fidgeting and reasonable movement, directions repeated, preferential seating arrangements, refocusing and redirection, and check for understanding. Jackson continued at Northridge Primary School, in 2nd Grade resource room was replaced with Integrated Co-Teaching Services in the classroom. Also, Jackson continued to receives small group Speech/Language Therapy and program modifications/accommodations remained the same.

The class was working on skim reading for answers. Jackson’s behavior was observed with regards to two broad dimensions: On task behavior (e.g. raising his hand, listening attentively to the teacher, reading, contributing to the lesson, etc) as well as his off task behavior including off task verbalizations, motor behaviors (e.g. getting out of his seating, tapping on his desk) and passive behavior (e.g. head down on desk, looking around the room, etc). Data was taken on these dimensions every 30 seconds. In addition, a different student in the classroom was chosen at random every 2 ½ minutes and coded along the same behavioral criteria. This was done to as a way to compare Jackson’s behavior to that of the other students in the classroom. Overall, Jackson was observed to be on task and engaged in the lesson a little less than the rest of the class (91.84 % engagement vs. 100 % engagement of the other students). Furthermore, John was also observed to be off task more than his classmates (8.6 % off task vs. 0 % off task), especially when there was full class

In keeping with state regulations, Questar III continues to move special education students from a more restrictive environment to a less restrictive environment as they are able. In recent years, our 4:1:2 program (4 students, 1 teacher and 2 aides) had become a default placement for many. And, it became costly and unsustainable. In response, we collected data, reviewed the program and had an honest conversation with our superintendents. As a result, we moved some students into 6:1:2 programs, reducing the number of 4:1:2 classes.
Dr. Doodley hypothesized that fast music would enhance people’s work performance. To test her hypothesis, she chose two different secretarial pools and chose to control what speed of music they would be working with, making that the independent variable, while the dependent variable is the performance of the groups based on the type of music they listened to while working. Based on the experiment’s purpose, the experimental group is the pool exposed to fast music. In which case, the control group would be the pool exposed to slow music. The control group used for the experiment was not appropriate, because there was a malfunction with the tape.
Twenty years ago Arnold Goldstein came up with the concept of, Aggression Replacement Training, also known as ART. Over the past two decades the concept of replacing violent, aggressive, or antisocial behavior with prosocial skills has been proven to be very effective. I have chosen to incorporate the same concept of replacing aggressive behavior, but I’d like to tailor it around aggressive juveniles, my program would be called, Juvenile Aggression Replacement and Education. The main goals of the program would be to teach juveniles how to control their emotions and violent out spurts, reduce aggression and violence amongst the juveniles in the program, teach juveniles “prosocial skills” that can replace the aggressive behavior, and reduce recidivism amongst juveniles with a past crime history and prevent any future crimes for the juveniles who do not have a criminal record.
Attention seeking behaviors can be identified as active constructive, passive constructive, active destructive, and passive destructive. Active constructive behaviors is usually present when a student may want to elevate themselves above other classmates, while not cooperating with the classroom norms. Passive constructive behaviors can be attached to the student who may do all that is expected of them to receive accolades or recognition only. Active destructive behaviors are present usually in students who may be identified as the “class clown”, or one who may regularly receive get in trouble. Passive destructive behaviors are present when a student may seem lazy, or lacking the ability to complete assignments within the classroom.
Field Activity Journal Ms. Kayla’s has a very structured schedule for her typical and atypical students. The majority of her students have autism, for them structure and schedule can have big impact in their attitudes and behavior thought the day. Therefor it’s important for Ms. Kayla to always follow the same schedule in order for her students to stay focused and happy. Structure is a strategy Ms. Kayla uses to motivate her students to want to learn. Every time her students walk into the classroom they know their class routine and there are no new surprises.
a. What could be some environmental factors contributing to Randy’s behavior challenges at school? The first environmental factor that is contributing to Randy’s behavior challenges at school are his disobedience and refusal to listen to teachers. It seems that his mother is working all the time and the boyfriend isn’t very involved or working long hours also. Randy’s guardians are not giving Randy enough attention, direction, discipline, and how to treat others.
Throughout this essay I will be explaining how a behaviour policy supports teachers and how it can also create an effective learning environment. I will also be highlighting any issues which could potentially arise from the use of a behaviour policy. A behaviour policy is guidance for members of staff within a school on how to deal with different behaviours, and sets out the expectations of behaviour for all children at the school. If a behaviour policy is written well it will support the formation of an effective learning environment. An effective learning environment for young children is an environment in which all children feel able to express themselves freely, allowing them to learn effectively.
Each time he gets attention, he works and finishes his assignments. Scholarly Evaluation of the ABC Data Collection: The ABC observation provided me enough data to help me figure out important leading factors to Oscar’s off task behavior. However, Oscar was absent two of the
While the group that was hitting the bag to exercise was the distraction group. The group that were not participants in the punching bag portion was the control group. The next step in the experiment was the mood survey. All participants completed this. The form looked to evaluate and measure anger and positive effect.
Behavior Plan Also, my classroom has positive or negative consequences based on how the students behave. Positive consequences consist of the students having a good grade for conduct on their report cards and making students ' progress. If a student behave well, he/she has a chance to be team captain for the week. Also, the student can select an item from the treasure box, or they can have free time on the computer. Another positive behavior consequence is they could get a lunch date with the teacher.

INTRODUCTION I. Attention step Attention getter: Students and textbook cannot be separated. Some students are willing to go to library to borrow books because books are getting expensive. Do you know why textbook are getting expensive?
I spent my fifteen hours observing two special education classrooms at Sulphur Intermediate School. One focused on math and the other on reading, though many of the children I observed worked in both classrooms. The students were in the third, fourth, and fifth grades. Most of the students had mild to moderate disabilities and simply needed extra help in reading, math, or both subjects. They did not stay for the entire day, but rather came for certain periods.
In regular education classrooms the majority of the time students receive whole-group instructions. Their methods of instructions consist in lectures, discussions, case studies, writing, group projects, public reviews, and independent student projects. In contrast, different instructional techniques are used for some students with special educational needs. Instructional strategies are classified as being either accommodations or modifications. An accommodation is a reasonable adjustment to teaching practices so that the student learns the same material, but in a format that is more accessible to the student.
