IC Problem Motiving Stage Of The Ic Problem Solving Problem In The Classroom

1. IC Problem-solving stage:

In this problem solving model, I am currently engaged in the problem identification process with Mrs. V. and Mrs C. In problem identification, Mrs. V expressed some concerns that she is having with her student Bingo in her classroom. Mrs. V expressed that Bingo has been verbally abusive and threatening towards other students. Students have approached her after recess complaining that Bingo would call them names. She also expressed how Bingo does not understand the concept of personal space. He would do obnoxious things to other students such as wiping his dirty hands on another student. At one point, in the cafeteria, Bingo spit on the table and rubbed the spit on another student. Other students are afraid of

When she corrects Bingo, he begins to cry. He refuses to do any school-work and becomes verbally abusive towards other students. He would randomly leave the classroom without asking permission. The teacher tried to have the student do some group work, but Bingo refuses to work with a group. His behavior has affected the other students and no one wants to sit next to him. Now, Bingo sits in the back of the room, away from other students, and does not participate in any work. The teacher does not know how to deal with him, therefore, she no longer approaches him. She feels bad for him, but does not know what to do. Mrs. C also reports that Bingo does not do any work in her class. She praises him and tries to encourage him to do work. He tried, but gives up

I was focused on identifying the problem and we listed the target behaviors, which is verbal/physical aggression, cursing to self, not doing school work. I believe that Bingo has several alarming behaviors, and I did not want to focus on just one specific behavior. Then we set up a tentative goal, which is reducing the verbally/physically abusive towards other students. Next, we want to increase Bingo’s school performance in Mrs. V’s, and Mrs. C’s class. We also want to decrease the amount of times Bingo curses to himself. Lastly, we discussed collecting data (tally marks) during data collection. We discussed that the teacher will be collecting the data each period Bingo does not participate in school work. We will also record each time Bingo becomes verbally/physically abusive towards others, and each time he curses to himself. The data will be collected each school day, for two
