– Dr. Fred Jones

8. Kristina Will Not Work Kristina, a student in Mr. Jake’s class, is quite docile. She socializes little with other students and never disrupts the class. However, Mr. Jake cannot get Kristina to do any work. She rarely completes an assignment. She is simply there, putting forth almost no effort at all. How would Jones deal with Kristina?
9. Kristina Will Not Work Make frequent eye contact with her. Even when she looks down, Mr. Jake should make sure to look directly at her. She will be aware of it, and it may be enough to encourage her to begin work.
Move close to Kristina. Stand beside her while presenting the lesson.
Give Kristina frequent help during seat work. Check on her progress several times during the lesson. Give specific suggestions and then move quickly on.
Increase the amount of Say, See, Do Teaching with Kristina so she has less information to deal with and is called on to respond frequently.
Set up a personal incentive system with Kristina, such as doing a certain amount of work to earn an activity she especially enjoys.
Set up a system in which Kristina can earn rewards for the entire class. This brings her peer attention and support.
10. Sara Cannot Stop Talking Sara is a pleasant girl who participates in class activities and does most, though not all, of her assigned work. She cannot seem to refrain from talking to classmates, however. Her teacher, Mr. Gonzales, has to speak to her repeatedly during lessons, to the point that he often becomes exasperated and loses his temper. What suggestions would Jones give Mr. Gonzales for dealing with Sara?
11. Sara Cannot Stop Talking Increase physical proximity
Make eye contact
Use proper breathing to help calm yourself down
Give classroom job that involves talking
Use Preferred Activity Time (PAT)
If her work gets done she will have time to talk at the end of the day
Group Concern would be a good way for the classmates to discourage talking so they can get their PAT
Backup Systems
12. Joshua Clowns and Intimidates Larger and louder that his classmates, Joshua always wants to be the center of attention, which he accomplishes through a combination of clowning and intimidation. He makes wise remarks, talks back (smilingly) to the teacher, utters a variety of sound-effect noises such as automobile crashes and gunshots, and makes limitless sarcastic comments and put-downs of his classmates. Other students will not stand up to him, apparently fearing his size and verbal aggression. His teacher, Miss Pearl, has come to her wit’s end. What specifically do you find in Jones’s suggestions that would help Miss Pearl deal with Joshua?
13. Joshua Clowns and Intimidates Increase physical proximity
Make eye contact
Use appropriate facial expressions
Give classroom job to give him responsibility and attention at the same time
Use proper breathing before talking to him
Backup Systems
Omission Training- give him responsibility for class to earn PAT
Grandma’s Rule- own behavior plan
14. Tom is Hostile and Defiant Tom has appeared to be in his usual foul mood ever since arriving in class. On his way to sharpen his pencil, he bumps into Frank, who complains. Tome tells him loudly to shut up. Miss Baines, the teacher, says, “Tom, go back to your seat.” Tom wheels around, swears loudly, and says heatedly, “I’ll go when I’m damned good and ready!” How effective do you believe Jones’s suggestions would be in dealing with Tom?
15. Tom is Hostile and Defiant Close physical proximity
Eye contact
Use appropriate facial expressions
Backup Systems
Omission Training
Give student responsibility
