ARE YOU WORKING?
This chart was created in September 2003 for a third grade student
with academic issues because of attentive concerns and new to Irene's small
group classroom. After using the chart for one week, the student went
from completing two grade-level questions in one hour - to completing three grade-level
worksheets in one hour (period).
Notes From Irene:
Sometimes students need to become aware of their own attentional issues.
What are they paying attention to? Attention was given to other kids moving around, what
adults were saying,
and so on. Instead of repeating "do your work", "keep working",
"are you done" and so
on.. try making it positive. Use minimal adult language to avoid
overload. This chart was introduced as a fun activity. Whenever the question,
"Are you working?" was asked, the student went, "ahh" then marked the chart. It
was like an, "ahh, I did it again", like learning how to play a video
game before learning how to get it right!
The student was so proud that he asked if he could take a chart to the
large group Social Studies class. He marked his own chart with one
adult, then other adults only
saying "Are you working?" |

WHEN SOMEONE WALKS IN THE ROOM...
This chart was created by Irene to show a student how to react to
environmental stimulus while in her classroom. She deliberately had
adults re-enter the classroom so the student could practice what to do
or how to keep working when someone walks in the room and has something
to say to an adult.
Irene would tell the adult to try coming in her classroom again so she
and the student could
see what "the student/name" does. Irene allows the students to earn green marks the first
times, while developing the behavior.
Notes From Irene:
Students may need specific explanations of how to develop behaviors
specific to each and every situation. "Students must learn it before
they do it."
Once a student learns it, then does it successfully - the chart will no
longer be needed. Red and Green Choices allows students to be attentive
to their behaviors and make informed decisions while making their
expectations and environment more predictable and clear.
Examples for Blanks: When...
I need help with a math problem... I need help reading a
word...
I miss a direction... The room is too noisy... |
