Answer questions 1-3.
Background
Student: Marcus
Age: 7.5
Grade: 2nd
Scenario
Marcus is a second grader with ADHD. Whether tapping or sharpening his pencil, adjusting his seat, “shooting baskets” with his trash, or pacing through the room, Marcus is in almost constant motion. During independent work, his restlessness is often evidence that he is off-task, something that is particularly true when his teacher is working with a small group at the classroom’s group table. When this happens, the teacher is forced to repeatedly interrupt the small group to try to refocus Marcus on his independent work. After speaking with a colleague, the teacher realized that she may not be planning enough physical activity during the instructional day to address Marcus’s needs. In addition, by creating a diagram of the classroom (below), Marcus’s teacher recognized several distractions that might be encouraging Marcus to be off-task.
The teacher is planning to enhance her lesson plans with physical activities and to rearrange the classroom or relocate Marcus’s seating position (indicated below with a red star) to help him meet the following goals in four weeks:
Increase the amount of time-on-task during independent work
Increase the number of independent assignments completed
Decrease the number of interruptions during small-group instruction
