Unmotivated/Disengaged Behavior
Challenging Behavior Description
Challenging Behavior- #2
Disengaged behavior is one challenge that I experience everyday from one of my students. This behavior is not intentional, and also may not be controllable by the student. He is disengaged throughout most of the day. Examples of this behavior can be seen during circle time when he is staring at the wall instead of participating in singing the days of the week or reading the weather. He often does not follow directions (because he has not listened to them and does not know what to do), copies other students’ words, work, and behavior, and cannot answer basic questions about the current topic we are exploring. This behavior requires an extreme amount of time from my teaching everyday to help redirect his attention and explain directions multiple times.
Tier 1: Primary Level Intervention
Strategy 1: Acknowledge positive classroom behavior, such as staying on task. A simple "I love the way everyone is focusing on their work and using respectful voice levels" can motivate them to continue the positive behavior
Strategy 2: Create a classroom chart with students on ways to stay focused and to complete a task/lesson. Display the chart in an area of the room that you can point or refer to when needed
Example that could be used during circle time
DATA TRACKING SYSTEM: Drill Down Tool to track average school disciplinary reports and trending problematic behaviors

Strategy 3: Create reminder bracelets for all students to wear throughout the day, or at times when they need to focus on a specific task

Tier 2: Secondary Level Intervention
Strategy 1: CICO. The student will use a Check In Check Out system throughout the day (specifically before and after individual work)
Strategy 2: A study buddy/work partner. The student will have a partner to help him stay motivated and on ask during an assignment
DATA TRACKING SYSTEM: The student would create a daily self reflection of how well he met his daily goal. Goals would be set in the morning or on a weekly basis. The reflection could be written (for older students) or verbal (for younger)

Strategy 3: Student meets periodically with a mentor/guidance counselor to discuss progress and goals

Tier 3: Tertiary Level Intervention
Strategy 1: Using a growth mindset journal to help the student progress towards his goals. For example, list positive behaviors that you exhibited today, list two more that you will strive to exhibit tomorrow
Link to growth mindset journals
Strategy 2: Monthly parent teacher/counselor meetings set to discuss behavioral progress and plan for action
DATA TRACKING SYSTEM: Take home journal that reflects the student's progress/behavior for the day. Journal must be signed by parent and returned to teacher the following day. Room for comments and dialogue between parents and teacher
Strategy 3: Create appropriate consequences for certain undesirable behaviors. For example, if work is turned in late or not attempted at all, the consequence is losing time during recess to work on it
