Disrespectful Behavior Case Study Essay

640 Words3 Pages

4. Monitoring of Isaac’s progress did not seem to be consistent or based on data due to the turnover of school personnel. A lot of crucial information seemed to be missing in his records because of this change in the school district’s student population, such as his psychologist having left the district (A Consequence of Testing ALL Students). Isaac’s records did contain his academic grades, such as Bs and Cs in his special education classes and an F in physical education “for refusing to dress out” (A Consequence of Testing ALL Students). His records described his behavioral problem as “frequent fights, cursing in class, and disrespectful behavior toward authority figures,” which was why he was referred for special education (A Consequence of Testing ALL Students). …show more content…

How were Isaac’s social skills at lunchtime and recess in elementary and middle school? How does Isaac behave while at job training? What kinds of ‘disrespectful behavior’ were being exhibited? I find it unfair to penalize Isaac’s behavior and place him in special education when the observer failed to explicitly describe Isaac’s disrespectful behavior in observable and measureable terms. Without observable and measurable statements of the behavior, there is no way to measure the behavior, identify alternative replacement behavior, and/or evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention program for the behavior problem (Smith, Lesson 7). Most importantly, failure to provided observable and measurable statements of the problem behavior makes it difficult to monitor the behavior objectively because of the cultural nature of behavior (Harry & Klingner,

  • The Case Of Myers V. Blue Springs School District

    The plaintiffs in the case, Brandon’s parents, were suing based on the school failing to handle harassment at the school. More claims of wrongful death because of negligence and discrimination against Brandon’s disabilities were a part of the case, as well as suing parents for harassment and emotional distress. The Myers had claimed that the staff members were fostering a system where bullying was being able to thrive in the school and have no consequence, which still seemed to be the case when the life threatening notes were given to the school and no direct action was being taken for the victim. This also includes how the district officials, along with the employees, had kept the evidence and destroyed it to essentially keep the school protected. In March of 2010, the plaintiff’s Rehabilitation Act claim was dismissed in favor of the defendants, but kept all other respects in the case.

The subjects were not chosen based off any specific criteria other than the fact that they attend the public school system within the United States (p. 53).

  • Tier 2 Intervention Essay

    431 Words  | 2 Pages

    Recent legislation requires schools to implement a Response to Intervention (RTI) model that is based on multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS). The goal of RTI is to identify students early who are struggling academically or behaviorally and provide appropriate interventions to prevent these challenges from becoming more serious and detrimental to their success. Under the traditional system, students may not receive extra services until a problem becomes severe, and they meet criteria for a special education qualification. RTI helps schools identify children earlier using systematic and scientific universal screeners of all children. Therefore, RTI gives students who are at-risk the opportunity to receive less intensive intervention services,

    The school board claimed that Ms. Cookson was originally dismissed due to her team’s participation in hazing activities, which was in clear violation of the school’s policies. When presented at the summary judgement it was found that the school had “articulated a legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason for declining to rehire Cookson” and provided sufficient evidence through parent complaints/ formal letters of disciplinary action (Kelly Jo Cookson v. Brewer School Department et al., p.4).In contrast, when reviewed by the Maine Supreme Judicial Court it was determined that sexual discrimination could have been a factor. The time of when the superintendent made his decision on Cookson’s dismissal and when he obtained the knowledge of her sexual orientation was a point of contention, therefore, it was deemed inappropriate for the case to be handled in a trial setting. Ultimately, Cookson withdrew her claim of sexual discrimination, however, it is unclear as to her
