Student Profile
In my field experience class, I have a student who has a hard time managing his behavior. In particular, he has a hard time entering the classroom. When he comes in, he will scream "what is going on, what did I miss?" This behavior is unacceptable. Creating a behavior checklist will remind this student how to enter the classroom. He can carry it around with him as he leaves and reenters the classroom. He also has a difficult time managing his behavior when the teacher is talking, and during independent work time. He needs constant reminders to raise his hand and to follow directions quickly. With the self-check behavior checklist, he will have the reminders right there next to him, so the teacher can focus on teacher and he can manage his own behavior by referring to the checklist.
