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.

Extracurricular activities in academic success

In this project we looked at how extracurricular activities benefit academic success in elementary school kids. The research concluded that extracurricular activities have many benefits to academic success such as building teamwork, balance, and self esteem skills that transfer over to the classroom, which is significant because as educators, our main goal is for our students to succeed. Knowing the benefits of extracurricular activities in academic success helps us to provide students with opportunities to participate in out of school activities. Though there are limitations and considerations to take with every thing you do, the evidence still proves that it is important for young students to participate in extracurricular activities.
