Case Study -- Aggressive Behaviors
Problems
Student will hit other students and sometimes themself
Student often plays with hands as a distraction during lessons
Student cannot manage emotions which causes acting out
Tier 1 Interventions
Strategy 2:
Send Student on an Errand
Sending the student out of the class can remove them from a stressful situation and give them time to calm down. This also gives them something productive and helpful to do, keeping them busy when they have trouble sitting still. This could be an errand outside of the class such as delivering a note to another teacher, or a job to do within the class such as closing the door or passing out classroom materials.
Strategy 1:
Clear, Consistent, and Predictable Consequences
It is very important for young learners to understand why something they did may be wrong. Consequences for actions should be made clear and delivered to students in a calm even tone. This needs to be kept consistent over the course of the year and among all students so they can understand a clear line between right and wrong. Also for young learners, having visuals displayed in the classroom can help increase clarity of what they have done that is wrong.
Strategy 3:
Phone or Talk to Parents
when a student is causing harm to other students or themselves it is imperative to let the parents know. This can get the parents involved and make teachers aware of anything going on at home that may be affecting their behavior. It can also help parents and teachers to work together to create consistent ways to deal with this behavior.
Tier 2 Interventions
Strategy 2:
Provide Sensory Tools
Giving the student something to fidget with, such as a small toy or play-doh, during lessons could keep their hands occupied giving their mind a chance to focus on lessons. This can also help keep the student from becoming physical with other students by keeping their hands busy.
Strategy 3:
Counselor or Behavioral Specialist Referral
If the student needs more support than the teacher is able to give outside support can be sought with the permission of the parents. This can be done as scheduled visits or spontaneously to remove the student from a high stress situation when they may be likely to act out.
Strategy 4:
Daily Behavior Form
this can help create structure and consistency for the student by giving them daily feedback of their behavior. This can be sent home for the parents to see and sign and send back, either on a daily or weekly basis. This would give the student a sense of achievement when they get a good report and further encourage their good behaviors.
Strategy 1:
Teach Coping Skills
Sitting down with the whole class and teaching them ways to manage their emotions can benefit everyone involved. This can teach students what to do when they don't get their way or they feel upset and can help them to better deal with social relations in the classroom.
Tier 3 Interventions
Strategy 1:
Behavior Contract
This can put the daily behavior form to more use by utilizing it to make a contract with the student. This can give the student more one on one intervention and be used as a jumping off point for meetings with the student or parents to discuss behavior.
Strategy 2:
Functional Behavior Assessment
This can be used to gather more information on a student's behavior and may give insight to why it is happening. This requires gathering data from the student's records, parents, teachers, counselor/behavior specialist and other school staff and can assist in creating a Behavior Intervention Plan.
Strategy 3:
Assigning a Friend
Giving the student someone to be their friend for a day can help them to learn to develop personal relationships. Strategic assigning of this friend can pair a student who would be a good influence on the student displaying behavioral problems and help them to make good choices throughout the day.
Data Tracking System
Daily Behavior Form to document the students behavior on a daily basis
Behavior Contract to illustrate what behaviors are and are not allowed. This can be used in conjunction with the daily behavior form.
Counselor or Behavioral Specialist Referral form for parents to give consent and approval
Functional Behavior Assessment to collect data from various sources to help provide insight as to why a behavior may be happening and can be used to help implement a BIP
