Are you looking for strategies to teach students to behave appropriately while moving with groups? If so, keep reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. <\/strong>Connect with parents<\/a> (e.g., notes home, phone calls, etc.) to disseminate information about the learner\u2019s progress. The parents may reinforce the learner at home for moving properly with a group at school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. <\/strong>Let logical consequences<\/a> happen as a result of the learner’s unacceptable behavior<\/a>(e.g., excessive physical contact may cause people to remain away from the learner or may result in pushing, shoving, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. <\/strong>Get the learner to<\/a> be a line leader, line monitor, etc., when moving with a group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. <\/strong>State clearly the expectations for appropriate behavior when moving with a group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. <\/strong>Select a peer to model appropriate movement with a group for the learner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 6. <\/strong>Praise the learner<\/a> for demonstrating appropriate behavior when moving with a group: (a) give the learner a concrete reward (e.g., privileges such as leading the line, handing out learning materials,<\/a> etc.) or (b) give the learner an informal reward (e.g., praise, handshake, smile, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n 7. <\/strong>Praise those students<\/a> who demonstrate appropriate behavior when moving with a group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 8. <\/strong>Praise the learner<\/a> for moving properly with a group based on the duration of time the learner can be successful. As the learner shows success, slowly increase the duration of time required for reinforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 9. <\/strong>Get the learner to<\/a> walk with arms crossed, against their side, hands in pockets, etc., if touching others is a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 10. <\/strong>Give constant, positive reinforcement<\/a> for appropriate behavior. Ignore as many unacceptable behaviors as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 11. <\/strong>Praise the learner<\/a> for walking at the same pace as other students when moving with a group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 12. <\/strong>Get the learner to<\/a> walk alone, behind the group, beside the teacher, etc., when they display unacceptable behavior<\/a> when moving with a group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 13.<\/strong> Consider using a classroom management app. Click here<\/a> to view a list of apps that we recommend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 14.<\/strong> Consider using an adaptive behavior management app. Click here<\/a> to view a list of apps that we recommend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 15.<\/strong> Consider using Alexa to help the student learn to behave appropriately.
