Classroom Management
Activity:
 Let's work together
Grade Level:
 Special Education
Type of Situation:
Small Group Chaos
Description:
 Many of the special education students go off task very quickly when they have small group projects or assignments in class. When they are supposed to work together, they lose focus and attention so that little work gets accomplished.
Instructions or Question:
 What do you do?
Your Answer:
(Select all correct answers)
Schedule more, not fewer, group work experiences because they obviously need practice.
Stop all small group projects for now.
Assign group work to be done at home or on the weekends.
Allow those who CAN work in groups to have that privilege.
Give students more detailed rules and instructions for completing the task.
Why bother? Pass out individual worksheets and keep the class quiet and orderly.
