In order to prevent this trigger,
the teacher could establish
timelines for Elijah before work
is started. The teacher could also
provide a visual timer or allow
Elijah to time himself using his
phone so that he is prepared to
stop working. This will also
eliminate the frustration that
comes from his fear of not
finishing on time.
Elijah will need to better manage his
time and use resources/tools if
necessary. He will also have to learn to
express his frustration with the teacher.
If he needs more time to complete an
assignment, asking the teacher should
be the first reaction. The teacher will
also need to teach Elijah that turning in
unfinished work is sometimes okay and
that classwork is a way to gauge his
understanding not a punishment.
To New Behaviors:
Teacher will speak with Elijah
privately and let him know that he
is doing a great job. (Public praise
often embarrasses him)
To Old Behaviors:
Teacher will remind Elijah that
there are ways he can keep track of
time; recognize his frustration
early and give him extra time to
complete work.
