Hi Karen, I’m not sure what system you have in place but have you tried ‘holding a bubble?’ Kids can physically show that they are limiting interruptions by filling their cheeks with air as a response to something like, ‘let me see your bubble’ when they interrupt. Since this is more of a short term redirection you could also try a reward system where students could visually see you tracking if they’re meeting expectations. It will also encourage them to self-correct.

I am capped at 12 students because I am by myself in the classroom. Any suggestions?

I have a student like that too. My gold key has been making him my helper. Re-directing his energy towards feeling responsible for things.

And then them shouting out to get the class behind them, who doesn’t like this class or who dislikes school.

I agree. I am in year four and I still struggle with consequences. I know each class is different but is there no “do this” approach to at least get started with?

When you’ve tried everything you can think of, I’d recommend talking to your admin. Also, are there other teachers who have had this student before? Speak with them and see if they have any insight or have found strategies that work well with her.

She is high maintenance and leads a couple others into class disruption. Any ideas? I’ve tried moving her next to me, next to my desk, rewards, timeouts, etc. I’ve pretty much used all my resources the have worked with other ADHD students.
Thank you for any advise you could give.
Gina

I’m wondering, though, about ideas for specific consequences or ideas of what to say. I really don’t know what kind of consequences I can put into effect other than sending them to the office or calling home. I need some help for ideas on what to say/do in situations of disrespect or disruption.
