The first intervention that I found very effective in my classroom was the changing of location. When two kids are were being disruptive, I would move one of them to the other side of the classroom.
Another intervention I've seen in my field experience was time out. The problem with South Range's time-out is it is in the Principal's office. The students would come back with revenge on their mind. Like the book says, " Students are supposed to come back from time-out when they are ready."
One problem I see with the interventions is the after school conferences. I don't think many parents would be willing to pick their child up at 3:15, for a thirty second conference. Unfortunately, the problem child's parents often do not hold a high value on education.

Hi Mike,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your journal reflections this semester. I hope that you got a lot out of this book. It made my time as a principal go a lot smoother after I learned how to implement these techniques.
Take care,
Justus
