Strategies to reduce off-task behavior
When a student(s) is constantly moving around in their seat due to not being able to sit down for long periods of time, and can only sit still for about five to ten minutes before switching into a new seating position. As a teacher, you would want to be able to find effective tools/strategies that can reduce off-task distractions. As I was in my practicum I observed one student that would be constantly moving after five to ten minutes. This not only caused a distraction to their learning as well as for the students around them. As I gathered all the information that I needed, I decided to research what are some effective tools/strategies that could help reduce these off-task distractions. As for my presentation, I will be incldiung the following: the problem statement, research, the proposed strategies, the results, and how I would implement them in my future classroom. I will also be including a little background information as well.
